The FISH Team want to pause to say thank you to the many quiet supporters who make our work possible !
You know who you are......
FISH does not rely on government funding to enable us to achieve our mission of improving the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma, poverty and engagement in the justice system.
Our majority Aboriginal led Board are focussed on listening and hearing the voices of our Elders, Leaders, families and communities and then acting to bring their wisdom and direction into on the ground action.
We know what to do to bring real lasting positive change, which often is not inline with government funding priorities or policy, but often we do not know how it will be achieved but we know what we are doing is right in bringing about positive long term sustainable change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their families and their community.
From home ownership, to bringing structural reform, healing and hope in the justice system, to sharing positive stories, through to innovative medical technologies. We continue to listen, hear and act !
None of this work would be possible without the many people, organisations, businesses, foundations and individuals who walk shoulder to shoulder with FISH - Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health in enabling us to fulfil our mission and for this we thank you.
We especially pause to thank the quite supporters who speak on our behalf, who share the stories we share and the outcomes of our work, who get their organisations or others to walk with us and who quietly financially support our work and put their faith in the voices of our Elders, Leaders, families and communities.
Together we can do far more than working alone and each one of us plays such an important part in the jigsaw puzzle of positive sustainable change as together we work to make this world a better place for all.
Each one of you inspire us on with our work, especially on those really challenging days where we know what we need to do but do not yet know how we will fund it to bring it to fruition.
WE THANK YOU !!!!
