RDA HERVEY BAY

www.rdaq.org.au/herveybay

Riding for the Disabled Hervey Bay is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing horse riding lessons and activities to individuals with disabilities in the Fraser Coast Area. Our mission is to enhance the physical, emotional and social well-being of our participants through the unique bond between humans and horses facilitated by engagement in equestrian activities.

By voting for our organisation, you are helping make a profound difference in the lives of those with disabilities, offering them opportunities for personal growth and increased mobility, through incidental exercise and the passive supported movement of the horse, as well as a sense of belonging. By supporting our cause, you are helping to empower and enrich the lives of the disabled community, fostering inclusivity and positive change. Your vote will enable our dedicated team of Volunteers and Horses to continue our valuable work and impact even more lives, one ride at a time.

WNOW

www.wnow.com.au

WNOW (When No One’s Watching) is a safe and supportive space for men to connect and explore what it means to be better men in our communities: better people, better fathers, partners, sons, brothers, and mates.

We are creating a community of positive masculinity, where men feel comfortable to take their ‘armour’ off and be their authentic and vulnerable selves, feeling supported and safe in a community of like-minded men.

Our community explores in a fun way what it means to be a better man, tackling challenges together and focusing on improving their mental, physical, and emotional health to be the best role model they can be for themselves and all those around them, especially when no one’s watching.

We do this through creating environments where men feel safe to connect authentically, share openly and learn from their peers to enable them to be happier when they are by themselves and with their loved ones.

We are all about connection, a simple concept but very effective. Its loke minded people sharing, caring and being stronger together than they are alone.

The keystone of the WNOW community is our Sunrise Club where we meet at 6am on a Wednesday for some light exercise, sharing challenges in a ‘circle of trust’, and connect over coffee and conversations. This connection continues through a supportive What’s app group. We also run regular events such as retreats, a 60km challenge and evening talks.

We want to reinvigorate what it means to be a man and challenge toxic masculinity norms. We want men to be ok with being vulnerable, and with making mistakes to learn from them and to continuously grow. We want WNOW men to support and give back to their communities and the world.
