Recently we’ve been reflecting on the impacts of COVID-19 and it’s apparent to us that we can do more to support those in our community who may be struggling with their mental health. This month we pledged $1,000 to support charities in the region where KupoCon has been active and made a promise to fundraise over the next few years to support regional charities and organisations. These charities support those who need assistance and spread awareness of the impacts of mental heath and mental illness.  

In the months ahead we’ll be working on support programs to better assist those in our community who need help. Whether this is access to a first line of support or changes in the way we operate to increase the effectiveness of making our events inclusive for all. We’ll share more on this as we go forward. In the meantime, please review this video message from Alex Maine, lead organizer of KupoCon.
