JOY & INSPIRATION PROGRAM
‘JOY AND INSPIRATION’ PROGRAM
Adult Carers give up their entire lives to care for their loved ones and NEVER ask for anything in return. These selfless people miss out on so much, even the little things that we take for granted – like going out for dinner, going to a movie, or even having a day off.
The ‘Joy and Inspiration’ program enables these selfless people to enjoy an experience that they could never afford or think could be possible. It could be a dream experience they have wanted all their life that they could never do due to their caring responsibilities like taking a helicopter ride, or something simple like going away to the beach for a couple of days.
These experiences are life-changing and so empowering for those who give so much, and your contribution will allow these people to enjoy something special that is life-changing to them.
Young children usually have no choice to become carers, where they have to provide support for a member of their family with a medical or mental health condition, disability, or other illness.
Therefore, they miss out on so much and deserve something special. You can make a young person’s dream come true with our ‘Joy and Inspiration Program’, to let them experience something they never thought they would have.
It may not even be much, like our young teen carer Daniel who was 15. He loved music and all wanted was to go to a live concert as he had never been to one, nor could afford it.
Not only did Daniel get to his concert, he met Ian Haug from Powderfinger and had an amazing one-on-one guitar lesson with him, plus a new guitar gifted to him.
Here is a video of Daniel’s experience and how these young people are affected by these special projects.
It’s people like Ian Hoag that make a difference in young people’s lives – Thank you. Click here to listen to what Ian says bout the program.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Your organisation can be involved from the very beginning to help us organise these special surprise experiences that will be so meaningful and change these carers’ lives forever.
Each experience is unique for that person and makes them feel so inspired and valued. We guarantee that these experiences are contagious, and your team will become as passionate as we are about supporting these amazing people
SPONSOR A CARER
We provide ONE and THREE-DAY wellbeing programs to unpaid carers to prevent health crisis breakdowns.
These Carers can be as young as 12 and are usually not coping due to the extreme stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.
You can sponsor a Wellness Program for these selfless people to allow them to heal and recharge, which is often lifesaving to them.
Your team can be involved in the actual retreats, meet the participants, be involved in the activities, or fund the programs so Carers can attend.
You will receive feedback from the participants, and plenty of social media shout-outs and coverage.
