The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

Lego saves the day for a child in hospital
It’s amazing how something as simple as LEGO can make such a big difference to a child who’s sick in hospital.
When you’re stuck in a hospital bed, surrounded by machines and doctors, a small box of LEGO can become so much more, a world of imagination, distraction, and joy.
It gives children something to focus on, something they can control and create when so much around them feels out of their hands. It sparks smiles, quiet moments of play, and sometimes even laughter with family or nurses who join in the build!
That’s why we love including LEGO in our Smiles2U packs because it’s not just a toy, it’s a little box of hope.
Frida Kahlo Friday in the Community Hub
“Programs like this give me the chance to leave my house and spend time with other ladies in my community. I don’t get much time for myself because I have a big family to look after so being in the hub helps me relax, be creative and I always leave happy. I don’t think my language is the best so I also get to practice my English at the same time and this make me even more happy” *Fatma

Empowering Coaches and Children: Technology for Connection and Growth
Having these tablets has completely changed the way we run our sessions. The kids are more engaged, they can see examples live, and it makes learning new skills so much more fun. It’s like having a mini-coach in their hands!” – Rainbow Roos Coach
“As a disabled person, this gift made me feel proud – physically and mentally.”
“I’ve only had one pair of sneakers—held together by five layers of super glue. These new shoes gave me more than comfort. They gave me self-esteem.”
“I stared at them for two weeks like they were in a shrine. When I finally wore them into the city, I treated myself to a haircut and beard trim. I felt confident. I felt proud. I haven’t felt that in many moons.
“I’m deeply grateful. As a disabled person, this gift made me feel proud – physically and mentally.”

Rewarding Positive Behaviours through Dojo Shop
Meridienne – I love the Dojo Shop as it allows people to get prizes that they might otherwise not be able to afford. I picked the Play-Doh.
Emelia – The Dojo Shop is good because we can get prizes for what we enjoy. I selected the Play-Doh because it looks interesting and I wanted to try it.
Father’s Day Lego
It was wonderful to see so many dads engaging with their children. The Lego provided the stimulus for great conversations, creative building and making special memories as a family. LEGO and Good360’s generosity has provided opportunity for not just a one-off activity, but for something students can take home and enjoy together with their dad or father figure. – Jo Money, Principal.
