We are leading a social-purpose movement in the health and wellness industry to inspire GiveBack that transforms the lives of homeless and vulnerable young people. Our GiveBack is when we’re out in the community, providing access to health and wellness services and treatments to these young people. To date we have provided 3742 treatments to 2272 young people.
But we can’t do it without the support of our amazing tribe of GiveBack Ambassadors who are part of our subscription program. Their subscriptions transform lives by:
- enabling us to provide our life changing health and wellbeing GiveBack program – the more they give, the more positive social-impact we gain!
- becoming a preferred wellness business with added social-purpose
- creating opportunity for young people to access holistic pathways to heal and recover from the impact of trauma and abuse.
To date our Ambassador’s subscriptions alone over this time have funded over 1411 health and wellbeing sessions to homeless and vulnerable young people. This is an amazing achievement!
Plus our Ambassador’s and their community have paid forward an additional 280 sessions for young people!
We can all contribute to balancing access and equity for these young people who could not otherwise afford health and wellness services. Another way we are supported to provide these services is when organisations and businesses engage our paid services, generating income for us to use in our GiveBack. Big shout out to Infoxchange, Ethical Jobs, Bay Technologies, Australian Podiatry Conference, Nia Community, Workforce Council, Encircle, Australian Catholic University, and Zig Zag Young Women’s Resource Centre for doing just that! Over the last 6 months our team provided 100 hours of workplace massage to these teams.
Our GiveBack during these past 6 months saw us:
- regularly providing treatments at Red Cross Night Café – 42 hours spent on 105 homeless and vulnerable young people to be exact! The Night Café provides a safe space away from the streets for young people experiencing homelessness aged 12 to 25 years in Brisbane. Young people can access free hot meals, showers, first aid, information and support. They’re also invited to access relaxation and therapeutic treatments offered by our team. Many of these young people have never experienced massage or Bowen therapy or Reiki and it’s a powerful thing to witness their bravery to do so and the impact our treatments can have on them.
- at Brisbane Youth Service’s Centre for Young Women and Centre for Young Families. We provided 9 massage, Bowen and Reiki treatments to the young mums and dads.
- continuing to build relationships at Jabiru Community College, an independent, non-government school that provides a flexible, personalised education experience for young people in years 10, 11 and 12. Our founder Kylie has seen the difference regularly being at Jabiru has made – the young people are now lining up for treatments! Ten treatments have been delivered at Jabiru.
- We have also started providing regular Massage clinics for vulnerable young mum’s on the Sunshine Coast with our community partner, Integrated Family and Youth Services. 15 young mum’s in deep need have received 20 to 60 minutes of Massage each session.
Special thanks to our GiveBack Ambassadors who had the highest contributions for these months. The contribution from Kindred Toxin Free Facials will provide 30 health and wellbeing sessions to homeless and vulnerable young people, Still Potential 9 sessions and Vibrant Women another 3 sessions. These contributions are on top of their subscriptions and paid forward from this big hearted businesses communities and clients!
And last but by no means least, shout out to our Partners who gift us so much and continue to support our vision: Healthy Balance Massage Therapy and Retail One, Tina from rtbitz graphic design for the endless and intuitive creation of beautiful things and Mayberry, Meldrum and Anderson who are incredible with their gift of time and skills for all of our accounting and taxation needs (especially the brilliant Jeannie!)
