Match It For Momentum!
Momentum Mental Health is honoured to announce the launch of Match It for Momentum, an inspiring community fundraising initiative led by Toowoomba Councillor and Executive Chairman of FKG Group, Gary Gardner.
Demonstrating his commitment to improving mental health and wellbeing across our region, Mr Gardner has pledged to personally match every dollar donated to Momentum Mental Health—up to the value of one year’s Councillor salary.
The challenge invites individuals, families, businesses, sporting clubs and community groups to stand alongside Momentum, helping expand mental health and wellbeing services while supporting the organisation’s long-term vision of establishing a permanent home for mental health and wellbeing in Toowoomba.
The initiative was inspired by Mr Gardner’s recent visit to Momentum, where he met with staff, volunteers and clients and saw first-hand the growing demand for community mental health services.
Reflecting on the visit, Mr Gardner said he was deeply impressed by the dedication of Momentum’s people and the difference they make every day.
“I’ve always believed that when you see good people doing important work, you should back them. The more I learned about Momentum, the more I realised just how many people rely on its services and how great the need has become. That’s why I’m inviting our whole community to Match It for Momentum. Every donation will be doubled, and every contribution will help change lives.”
Momentum Mental Health Board Chair Chris Black said the campaign represents a significant moment for the organisation and an opportunity for the wider community to be part of something lasting.
“Gary Gardner has led by example. One of our region’s most respected business leaders has made the first major commitment towards Momentum’s future and challenged our community to join him. The first domino has fallen—now it’s our turn.”
Mr Black said community support would help Momentum continue expanding its services while progressing its vision of creating Toowoomba’s permanent centre for mental health and wellbeing—a welcoming place where people can connect, recover and thrive.
Momentum Mental Health CEO Shirley-Anne Gardiner said the campaign is an incredible vote of confidence in the organisation and the work of its dedicated team.
“Every day we see the life-changing impact that connection, hope and practical support can have on people experiencing mental health challenges. We are incredibly grateful to Gary Gardner for his generosity, leadership and belief in Momentum’s vision, and to everyone in our community who chooses to support this campaign.”
Over the past financial year, Momentum Mental Health supported 736 individuals through 6,566 attendances, delivering recovery-focused programs that improve wellbeing, reduce social isolation and build confidence through meaningful connection, education and practical support.
Every donation made through the Match It for Momentum campaign will be matched by Gary Gardner, doubling its impact and helping ensure more people across our region can access the support they need.

Momentum’s Vision,
From the Desk of the CEO
As CEO of Momentum Mental Health, I am incredibly proud to be part of this amazing organisation. Each day, I see firsthand the difference we make in the lives of people who are navigating some of life’s toughest challenges. What makes Momentum special is not just the support we offer—but the way we do it—with empathy, respect, and a deep belief in the strength and resilience of every person who walks through our doors.
Our vision is bold: by 2034, we aim to have informed, transformed, or improved the mental health and wellbeing of over 100,000 people. This isn’t just a number—it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to creating real, lasting change in our communities. And we are well on our way to achieving it. Through the dedication of our team, our partnerships, and the voices of those with lived experience, we are building a future where no one feels alone in their mental health journey – and where mental health and wellbeing is for everyone, every single day.
Momentum prioritises the safety and wellbeing of all clients, especially children and young people in every activity we undertake. Momentum delivers group and individual wellbeing sessions every weekday, and we do this entirely free of charge. We believe that mental health support should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or income. Whether someone needs a safe space to talk, practical tools to manage emotions, or simply a place to connect with others—Momentum is here. Together, we’re creating a healthier, more connected community, one person at a time.
