Recognising the signs of abuse is crucial for intervention and support. Look for unexplained injuries, changes in behaviour, social withdrawal, or fearfulness around certain individuals. Remember, acknowledging these signs can be the first step toward healing for those in need. Stay informed and help create a safer community. #domesticviolenceawareness #support #charity

Exciting news in the philanthropy world! Renowned entrepreneur Dick Smith has made a generous commitment to donate his $300 energy rebate announced in the Federal Budget this week to the Salvation Army, urging fellow millionaires to follow suit. Dick Smith's message is clear and inspiring: "Not all of us need that money. There are millions of Australians that are doing OK. Donate the money to an important charity and that means the money won't be wasted." In a time where every little bit helps, this gesture of kindness demonstrates a powerful way to make a significant impact. This act of generosity can serve as a reminder of the impact we can have when we redirect resources to where they are most needed. So many Australian families, including kinship and foster care households face significant financial challenges daily. For carers, additional financial support really does go a long way, grants for the purchase of items for the children and young people in their care can mean the world, especially when the cost of living is so high. Through our fundraising at OzChild we can help with the costs of tutoring, counselling, car seats, and even prescription glasses for kids – practical items that make caring a little bit easier. But we can’t do that alone. No not-for-profit organisation can, we rely on the generosity of others to make it possible for us to help lighten the load for families. Let’s join forces to make a difference! I encourage everyone who can, to consider this impactful choice. Whether it’s a donation to the Salvation Army, OzChild or another charity close to your heart, let’s turn our rebates into a collective effort for good. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #GivingBack #CommunitySupport

It's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and to feel overwhelmed by our own problems. However, true strength is demonstrated when we are able to set aside our own concerns and extend a helping hand to those in need. When we choose to help others, we not only make a positive impact on their lives but also experience a sense of fulfillment and purpose. It reminds us that we are capable of making a difference, even in the midst of our own difficulties. So, let's follow the example of the strongest people and make time to help others, even when we're struggling ourselves. Be part of @encouragement_foundation so we can support each other, uplift those in need, and create a more compassionate and caring world for all. #helpingpeople #charity #encouragement #sunshinecoast #quoteoftheday

Each year, we let the staff vote on which charity to support. This year, it’s Mind. As a company and a team, we are big on supporting mental health. And not just as some shallow tick-in-a-box gesture. It’s another area we genuinely care about. Too many people don't feel they have anyone to talk to or simply don’t know where to turn for support. Mind offers a huge range of support and advice to anyone who needs it. From under 18s to the elderly and from those needing support to those giving it. The work they do is so important, yet, like so many vital organisations, they rely on charitable donations.  This year, they’ll be receiving one from Faber. What do you do to give back? Do you have one or two charities you always support, or do you mix it up a bit? #GivingBack #Construction #Mind #Charity

🧑🦽For a child with cerebral palsy, a wheelchair means more than mobility—it means a new beginning, a new sense of freedom, and a renewed sense of hope to a family. Every child deserves the freedom to explore their world, but for many, that freedom seems out of reach. At Boikanyo, we’re changing that reality by providing reconditioned buggies to children who need them most. These aren’t just wheelchairs—they are life-changing tools that bring joy , independence , and hope to children who have spent their lives limited by their disabilities. Imagine the joy of a child being able to join their family at the dinner table for the first time, or the excitement of moving freely through their home, exploring rooms they’ve never been able to enter. This is what new wheels bring—new beginnings and new hope. Your donation can give a child this life-changing gift. Help us bring new hope to children who need it: Link to donate, in our bio #boikanyo #outreach #buggies #cerebralpalsy #cpawareness #cpwarrior #cerebralpalsyawareness #cerebralpalsysupport #nonprofit #npo #ngo #charity #givingback #volunteering #uplifingcommunities #community #touchinglives #positiveimapact

🚴♂️ 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 500𝐤𝐦 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞🚴♂️ This May, I am proud to be participating in the 2024 Magic Ride, a 500km cycling challenge through the Hunter Valley, to support Feel the Magic, a charity dedicated to providing grief education to children who have experienced profound loss. As a team sponsor (Jay Anderson Property), our goal is to raise $15,000 – that's $30 for every kilometre of the ride. How You Can Help: 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Help us reach our fundraising goal.

𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: There are a few spots available for those who wish to participate in this meaningful event. Imagine the pain of losing someone dear to you at a young age. Sadly, this is the reality for 1 in every 20 children aged 7-17, and over 300,000 children in Australia will experience the loss of a parent before they turn 18. The impact of losing a parent at a young age leaves a lasting imprint on a child's life, leaving behind scars that may never fully heal. Research reveals the devastating toll it takes, showing how it disrupts not only their present but also their future. From strained relationships to academic struggles and occupational challenges, the repercussions are far-reaching. Tragically, this pain often leads to harmful coping mechanisms, mental health issues, substance abuse, and an increased risk of suicide. The ripple effects are profound, shaping their journey long after the initial loss. This is where Feel the Magic steps in to provide these children and their families with the support they need to find solace, strength, and the opportunity to embark on a path toward healing. Feel the Magic’s work is crucial, and the need is great. By supporting this cause, we can together help shape a better future for these children. #MagicRide2024 #FeelTheMagic
