25.01.2022 As we hit the final stretch of our planking adventure, Planktober by TBO, we can honestly say we’ve given it a good crack and there’s been lots of fun and laughs along the way! Our dream of creating The Living Room, a place of community connection, has been firmly launched and our first project is underway in Five Dock! As the fundraising tally continues to rise, there is much to be grateful for!! grateful to all you crazy plankers out there for putting your bodies on the... line grateful to everyone who tipped some cash in the tin to sponsor a planker grateful to the new registrations just now coming through meaning the campaign is extending into November (thanks students of Riverview College!!) grateful to the City of Canada Bay for launching the concept of The Living Room for community consultation next month grateful to our friends, family and fans who help share our stories grateful to the businesses who have donated prizes and giveaways grateful to the community groups who share our vision of #collaboration #connection #corecommunity #collectiveimpact grateful that our dream is coming to life For those who would still like to donate or participate, there is time!

23.01.2022 It’s one thing to raise awareness, promote acceptance and understanding of people with disability, but another to truly unite and enact inclusivity and universal accessibility into the everyday. We couldn’t agree more!!! We are so chuffed to be celebrating today’s International Day of People with Disability with an award. Gunnedah's Livvi's Place all-inclusive playground recognised at the 2020 Kidsafe National Playspace Design Awards. ... The judges gave Livvi’s Place the accolade as one of the top 4 playgrounds built in Australia in the last 2 years as providing a great opportunity for diversity in play and delivering an all-inclusive, all-abilities playspace. Congratulations to the Gunnedah community led by local mum Ashley Bender. Ashley, whose son was diagnosed with autism at age 2, began advocating for a safe place for all children to play by starting a petition in 2013. Livvi’s Place Gunnedah finally opened late last year, and as the judges commented, this playspace is a wonderful example of what a vision can do to provide a much loved facility. Today we reflect on our actions and encourage everyone out there to do their bit for a more inclusive society! Today should be everyday - c’mon Australia - together we can build back better. #inclusive #livvisplace

23.01.2022 We are pink and proud!! Unveiling our new messaging. Simple social impact. #communityatourcore #collectiveimpact #EverybodyCounts #inclusive

19.01.2022 Today is world kindness day. It’s purpose is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. Maybe it’s a chance to reflect on this crazy year and how your community has rallied, supported and contributed to those who’ve needed a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on. A cause very dear to our heart is Fly High Billie- a charity that commemorates young Billie Kinder’s life by promoting empathy and compassion in children to reduce mental health issues, bullying and suicide. From today through the weekend, Fly High Billie is hosting a virtual kindness walk to help create a kinder world. Why not take some steps of your own and join this movement https://fundraise.flyhighbillie.org/event/walkforkindness #kindnessmatters #communityatourcore

08.01.2022 4 years ago 31 runners pink and proud took to the streets of NYC and smashed out a marathon to raise money for our cause. The city and the country was never the same again!!

07.01.2022 The consultation signalling chapter 2 of TBO’s dream of creating a more inclusive society is continuing this week. The Living Room at Timbrell Park will become a reality with your help! All feedback, suggestions and support is welcomed to ensure we can create a space where everybody belongs. #inclusive #communityatourcore #socialenterprise #disabilityemployment

06.01.2022 We love your work Bec - you are a tireless advocate of inclusiveness. These stories need to be listened to by everyone! We all need to play our part. #everybodycounts

04.01.2022 The African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child' embodies the spirit of community. It represents the sentiment that an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. And, when organisations within communities interact together, the whole community benefits. Thank you Balmain Junior Touch Association for being part of our shared vision to raise not only our children, but our entire community! #planktober #thelivingroom #inclusive #communityatourcore #EverybodyCounts

01.01.2022 This week we have been building up to our Random Act of Kindness (RAOK ) Day to commemorate Olivia’s anniversary. We have been gifted with much to celebrate over the last 14 years and although the grief is never far away, our dream to create a more inclusive world has rewarded us with healing kindness and immense joy. From Livvi’s Places to our next chapter The Living Room - we will continue to create spaces where everybody is welcome and belongs! So come join in the joy of our RAOK Day on Monday at Livvi's Place Five Dock from 10am for some bonza giveaways!
