Craig Wiggins Champions Rural Mental Health

"If you feel like you could help us, $5, $10, $20, or even $5,000, we will use that money well," Wiggy says.

Craig Wiggins delves into the crucial issue of mental health in rural communities, sharing inspiring stories from his recent initiatives, particularly the 'Lean on a Gate' campaign at Macraes Mine. 

He explains how the campaign has fostered a supportive environment, encouraging mine workers to recognise and address mental health issues. 

Wiggins emphasises the importance of community support and practical training through partnerships like Mates in Construction and the new 'Donate for a Mate' programme aiding community groups, young farmers and schools.
