‘We want to get out the word about Global Warming because we need to save the world in time’ was the pitch message of the Clean Breathing team. ‘It’s not too late to take action that makes a difference.’

In their pitch the team enacted a scene where it was 90 years from now and a grandmother was reading a story of a world that was lost 90 years before by people not taking climate action, whilst they still could.

Thanks to Bassmaster Coast Community Foundation for helping make this project possible.

Get involved next year. Link is in our bio and here:

We’ve discovered at Kids Thrive over the last ten years that one of the top issues children care about are animals. Therefore, it came as no surprise to see that a group of kids at Newhaven primary school wanted to become the ‘Animal Life Savers’ and help their furry friends.

The Animal Life Savers group is made up of Hamish, Ell, Emma, Hayden and Hanna who wanted to go to Maru Koala and Animal Park to help with the animals and make shelters.

“Animals often don’t have enough shelter or a home to keep them safe and warm” the kids said.

“We wanted to fundraise enough money so that Maru could purchase the resources they need as well as helping them with insurance money” the kids said.

The Animal Life Savers went out into the community and raised $148 which included a donation to the Park.

Thanks to the school and community for helping make this happen with our local funder Bass Coast Community Foundation
