Happy World Environment Day! 🌿
Today, 5 June, is a global moment to celebrate our planet and recommit to protecting it.
At the Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation, being Ecologically Sound is central to who we are and the work we support. We know that caring for country, caring for community, and caring for the environment are deeply connected — not separate conversations.
This year's World Environment Day is focused on climate action. The signals are clear. And so is the opportunity: people everywhere are choosing to act, and the momentum is real.
What does climate action look like in your community?

We are 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑰𝒏 for National Reconciliation Week 2026! 🌊
Running from 27 May to 3 June, NRW 2026 invites all Australians to step away from the sidelines and commit to reconciliation — not just this week, but every single day.
For the Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation, Walking Together with Traditional Custodians is a pillar of everything we do. This week is a meaningful reminder that reconciliation is a living, ongoing journey built on respect, relationship, and action.
The beautiful artwork for NRW 2026 is called Gaagal — meaning "Ocean" — created by artist Otis Hope Carey. It captures what it looks like when people move together for change, voices rippling outward like water.
What does being All In look like for you this week?

Today is National Sorry Day.
We pause to acknowledge the Stolen Generations — the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families between the mid-1800s and 1980s — and to honour the strength of survivors and their families.
This year's theme is From Sorry to Action. For the Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation, Walking Together with Traditional Custodians is a core pillar of everything we do. Today is a reminder that reconciliation requires more than words — it requires accountability, follow-through, and the courage to act.
We stand with survivors, their families, and their communities — today and every day.

🌿 Raising Rarity is a hands on conservation initiative run by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria that brings together science, horticulture and education to protect some of Victoria’s most threatened plant species. Through this year long student program, schools work alongside expert ecologists and horticulturalists to grow, monitor and conserve rare native plants facing extinction — building real conservation skills and stewardship from the ground up.
From species discovery and garden setup to planting, maintenance and seed harvesting, students are directly involved in protecting local biodiversity and understanding the urgency of plant conservation.
This program fosters the next generation of environmental champions and helps safeguard Victoria’s unique botanical heritage. 🌿

May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month.
Every day, people across Australia experience harm within the very spaces that should feel safest: their homes, their families, their relationships. While domestic and family violence can affect anyone, the data is clear: it is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women. This month shines a light on that reality, and on the individuals, services and communities working with courage and compassion to change it.
At the Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation, we are committed to protecting people from harm. We know that lasting safety doesn't come from silence. It comes from strong, connected communities that are willing to act.
This May, we encourage our community to learn, to listen and to stand alongside those affected as we all have the right to live a life free from the fear of violence and abuse.
If you or someone you know needs support, 1800RESPECT is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 1800 737 732 or visit 1800respect.org.au.

💛 You can help The Reconnect Project expand its impact and help even more Australians stay connected — socially, economically and digitally! Here’s how:
🔹 Donate your pre loved tech — mobile phones, tablets and laptops of any condition go straight into their secure refurbishment process.
🔹 Encourage workplaces, schools or community groups to run tech drives — more donations means more devices for people in need.
🔹 Choose a repair with purpose — use their quality repair services to give your device a second life, supporting their mission while reducing e waste.
🔹 Share this work with your networks to raise awareness about digital exclusion and how connection changes lives.
Your support helps bridge the digital divide, reduce landfill, and create meaningful opportunities for young people learning new skills.

📱 The Reconnect Project is a dynamic social enterprise and charity working to close Australia’s digital divide by refurbishing donated mobile phones, tablets and laptops and sharing them with the people who need them most. Each device is securely wiped, repaired and given a second life, helping people stay connected with family, essential services, education and work.
But the impact goes deeper — the organisation trains and employs neurodivergent young adults in mobile device repair and workplace skills, helping build confidence, capability and pathways to meaningful work.
Through partnerships with over 170 social service organisations, The Reconnect Project ensures refurbished technology reaches women and children fleeing domestic violence, refugees and migrants, people experiencing homelessness, at risk youth and socially isolated individuals.
