23.01.2022 UPDATE. Our Disability Art Competition is over for another year. The art competition see's people with disabilities in an art competition, the winning design has theirs printed to their own toy run shirt and others participating also getting a copy of the shirt. All participants receive a certificate of participation and 1st, 2nd and 3rd get Gold, Silver or Bronze medals. This year will be the 2nd year we have had the winner becoming our Disability Ambassador who will ear...ly in the new year present sponsors with a copy of the shirt and certificates of appreciation. This year Jason was our winner with a local artist who works for Family Networks being the Judge. We have jazzed his design up a bit, as we do each year, so if you see people wearing these shirts you will know the story. Pictures below of front and back of Jason's design and congratulations.

23.01.2022 UPDATE. Fraser Coast Family Networks is now running with our Virtual Reality (VR), Headsets, to date we have passed on 5 sets, with several more on back order.

We are currently working on additional programs/uses for these headsets possibly with those on the spectrum/autism. Anyway early days.. Picture below of Family Network clients using the headsets.

08.01.2022 UPDATE. 'Where our Money Goes' this has been available on our website since we started Independent Riders, with various refinements over the years including quantifying or volunteer hours.. Link below is to this information, a few more updates still need to be added to adjust volunteer hours and additional information from our Not for Profits. At this stage we are on track to pass the $200,000 mark early in the new year of money and goods we have donated since Independent Riders came to be.. This is pretty good considering we started a little over 7 years ago with around $70 that was raised from cashing in scrap metal Anyway thank you to those that have supported us over the years, http://www.eatmyshorts.com.au//IR%20Where%20Money%20Goes%2
