25.01.2022 Welcome to The Terry Floyd Foundation The Terry Floyd Foundation was set up in memory of Terry Floyd, aged 12, who was abducted and murdered while waiting for a lift home from Avoca to Maryborough, Victoria, on 28 June 1975. The Foundation was established in March 2019 by Daryl Floyd, Terry's younger brother, in response to the overwhelming support for the search for Terry. This inspired Daryl, and a small group of volunteers, to set up the foundation focusing on turning Terr...y's legacy into a positive by making children's lives better. The belief and vision of The Terry Floyd Foundation is to help support children live brighter futures. The main aims of the foundation are - To help with awareness of personal safety through encouraging children to speak out against bullying - To support disadvantaged children to help them reach their full potential. #buildingbrighterfuturesforkids See more

04.01.2022 Another remarkable person we welcome to the Terry Floyd Foundation , Charlie Bezzina For several months now we have been working together with Charlie about how we can deliver a program to schools to assist students who may be at risk due to the choices they are making in life. So we have developed a program called Decision Making which we were hopeful to be able to deliver at the end of this year but due to current circumstances this won’t be possible until the start of ...the school term next year. With Charlie’s vast experience within the Victorian Police he has seen the effects some ‘Bad decision making’ can have on families so he is not only very qualified but also very passionate. So we welcome Charlie to the Terry Floyd Foundation. Another intricate part of the team at our foundation in delivering our vision. Terry Floyd Foundation #buildingbrighterfuturesforkids See more
