“We need to raise awareness and stop the stigma of men not being able to speak up,” he said.
“Cuts for Nuts was a raging success and will come back bigger and better next year.
“We sold a heap of snags and hamburgers.
“The support of the sponsors and the community was fantastic.
“I couldn’t have put the event together without On Time Pest Control, Green Azz Turf, Coolabah Turf and Haeusler’s Echuca.”
