"What difference does it make to someone’s life if they are able to get out into their local park? Here’s Colin’s story. Colin first got involved with Your Park as part of a project to assess and improve the accessibility of our parks from first-hand accounts. During his time with us, his dedication and insight into the challenges faced by Disabled park users led Colin to lead the access assessment of Hartcliffe Millennium Green. The group discovered significant barriers that prevent full use of parks, even at the front gate. Heavy entrance gates that are hard to open, a lack of accessible parking and toilets, and inadequate pathways and facilities, are all challenges a non-Disabled person might never consider. But it is crucial that everybody does. 🗣️ Colin shares: “Your Park has been working hard to highlight the fact that minorities suffer from unequal access to parks and green spaces - this includes Disabled people, women and girls, people from ethnic backgrounds as well as those from poorer backgrounds. This is an issue that often goes unhighlighted within society but one, I feel, is vital. Research shows that being able to access a park or green space improves people's health both mentally and physically. In addition, Your Park is putting co-production with the local community and lived experiences at the core of its project delivery. This is important because it means the communities and people who will be using the parks and green spaces can have their voices front and centre.” Help us reach more people by donating today.

Every year, the Flight Centre Foundation donates to 5 deserving charities through our ‘Giving Grants’ program. These charities are voted for by our people, hand selected from a long list of many other deserving applicants. As each of our Giving Grants winners are doing incredible work, we want to spotlight each of them over the next few weeks to raise awareness on how they’re making an incredible change to people’s lives and within our community.  Today, we're putting the spotlight on Southern Cross Kids' Camps.  ❤ Who? Southern Cross Kids' Camps ❤ What? This wonderful organisation runs 5-day camps every year, specifically designed to interrupt the trauma-abuse-neglect cycle that can occur within primary school aged children. These camps create a safe space where children can foster hope again, as well as meet new friends and make positive memories they can reflect on for years to come.  ❤ When? Southern Cross Kids Camps happen once a year and they go for a duration of 5 days. You can find out when their next camp is taking place here: https://sckc.org.au/camps/ ❤ Where? Southern Cross Kids Camps are currently operating in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Northern Territory.  ❤ Why? The impact 5 days of enrichment and fun can have on a child is exponential and stretches far beyond the 5 days duration of the camp. It not only creates a positive environment for them to thrive and have fun - but it builds their self-esteem, resilience, ability to trust others and an overall sense of community.  ❤ How? If you’re wanting to get involved or see how you can help contribute to the lives of neglected children, head to https://sckc.org.au/ today.  #FlightCentre #FlightCentreTravelGroup #ProudToBeFCTG
