Exciting news! We’ve been awarded a $10k Australia Post Community Grant towards our ‘Reconnecting with Nature following cyclone Jasper’ project.

With this funding, we’ll be able to develop and deliver a 6 month program supporting flood-impacted communities in Cairns through monthly nature and adventure based sessions designed to foster connection, resilience and healing. Participants will reconnect with nature and each other, reframing the outdoors as a place of peace and restoration in the wake of the damage caused in the 2023 floods. It’s a cause close to our hearts with co-founders Jonny and Tessa feeling the initial and ongoing impact firsthand having had their family home inundated with floodwater in December 2023.

Earlier this week our CEO Jonny celebrated the good news with Bree James - Barron River MP. We can’t wait to start developing this program and reaching out to partner agencies supporting flood affected communities.

We’re proud to be one of many organisations delivering mental wellbeing
across Australia, one project at a time.
