Each year on March 8, global communities unite to celebrate the achievements of women for International Women's Day.
The campaign theme for 2019 is #BalanceForBetter and encourages people to play their part in motivating others to work towards gender-balance in all aspects of life.
Last Friday, office staff showed their support for this movement by striking the "hands out" balance pose as a strong call-to-action to others to also help forge a balance for better.
For the fourth year running, we are proud to say that Rural Lifestyle Options Australia will be participating in Feel Good February. Feel Good Feb is a community initiative which started in 2015 by founder Linda Pang, to encourage people to perform random acts of kindness for people in the community. According to Linda, there has been extensive research to show that giving out good not only benefits the receiver but also increases the happiness of the person giving it. Doing a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) is a concept that a lot of people already do. Feel Good Feb brings RAK into the spotlight and wants to inspire people to focus on being proactive, because in our busy lives, sometimes we need to slow down. Our first Feel Good Feb event for the year will be happening on Thursday, 14 February 2019. If you are in the Scenic Rim area between 11am and 12:30pm be sure to drop by our South East Queensland Office (8 William Street, Beaudesert QLD 4285) where we will be giving out free t-shirts and iced beverages for passersby! Keep an eye on our Latest News and Social Media pages to see where we will be popping up next! #FeelGoodFeb #RandomActsOfKindness #RAK
At Rural Lifestyle Options Australia, we are always exploring new and innovative ways to improve our supports and services. One of the ways in which we achieve this is through our Unfunded Projects initiative. We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Queensland Government’s Containers for Change Scheme to assist us in achieving our fundraising goals this year.
How does the Scheme work?
Through this partnership, members of the public can return eligible empty containers at authorised container refund points and choose to donate the 10 cent refund per container to our Unfunded Projects initiative.
You can choose to support the organisation through this scheme by:
Choosing to donate to our Scheme ID ‘C10072058’ when you return your eligible containers to a refund point.
