🙍‍♂️This week is Men's Health Week.

The week aims to raise awareness of preventable health problems, support healthier lifestyle choices, and encourage early detection and treatment of health issues in men and boys.

It's time for men to take a check up and each of us can play a role on encouraging men to do this by sharing this post, talking about how important it is to each of us that men visit the doctor for a check up. One check up could make a difference.

Health Checks to Prioritize this week as a prompt to get on top of these essential, life-saving screenings:

Blood Pressure & Cholesterol: Should be checked every 1-2 years to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes check: It's important to get blood test to keep on top of your blood levels

Prostate Cancer: Discuss the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test with your GP, especially if you have a family history.

Bowel Cancer: If you are between 50 and 74, complete the free National Bowel Cancer Screening Program home test or if you have a family history speak to your doctor to see when you should start testing.

Mental Health: Don't hesitate to reach out for support or check in on a mate. You can connect with support lines like Beyond Blue if you are feeling overwhelmed or speak to a doctor.

Father's, Husband's, Brothers and Son's are the love of our lives and your health matters. 🩷🎒

🩸 World Blood Donor Day is today, a day to give blood and help save lives.

The role of donating blood is so important to us all and we never know when we or a loved one may need blood.

Blood is a necessary resource for planned treatments and urgent interventions. It is helpful for patients who are suffering from life-threatening conditions to live longer and with a higher quality of life. It supports complex medical and surgical procedures

Transfusion of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year. It can help patients who are suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. It also has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and perinatal care. Access to safe and sufficient blood and blood products can help reduce rates of death and disability due to severe bleeding during delivery and after childbirth.

An adequate supply can only be assured through regular donations by voluntary unpaid blood donors.

Let's all take the time to roll up our sleeves and donate blood to make a difference and save lives.🩸

"Not all heroes wear capes; some just donate blood."🩷🎒

🫶 National First Responder Day 🫶

Today is a special day for us all to be able to give thanks to our first responders NSW Police Force, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Ambulance, Marine Rescue Port Stephens, Surf Life Saving NSW NSW SES, NSW Rural Fire Service and many other first responders that are at the front line of emergency services and acknowledge their bravery, sacrifices, and vital services of the professionals.

"Your work is extraordinary and does not go unnoticed and we truly appreciate all you do. In the face of crisis, uncertainty, and challenge, you put people first and bring great skill, care, and courage. Many days you go without having meals, time without your loved ones and carry a pain of what has been seen and that carries a price of pain and with some PTSD and with this we share our love to each of you".

From all The Backpack Venture Charity team and those within our following, we say a very big THANK YOU ❤💙🧡💚to ALL the first responders who show up, step up, and stand strong for our communities and many times put your lives on the line — not just today, but every day.

Today we take a moment to pause and reflect on just how much you give.
🫶 Thank you for your service to our communities
🫶 Thank you for the many hours you give back to our communities outside of work duties.
🫶 Thank you for being the first to our safety
🫶 Thank you for all the things you give up to put your duty first
🫶 Thank you for the early mornings and sleepless nights.
🫶 Thank you for the strength you show and the sacrifices you make.
🫶 Thank you for continuing, even when it’s hard.

Please know you are valued and appreciated for all you do and give back. THANK YOU ❤🎒

Thank you for being an important part of our lives ❤🎒

👫👭👬 BEST FRIENDS DAY

Best Friends Day falls on June 8 each year to honour your closest and dearest friend.

The relationship between best friends is often fierce and can withstand distance, storms and silence. Whether we’ve known them all our lives or they are more recently acquired, best friends make tough times bearable, fun times memorable, and memorable times priceless.

Celebrating National Best Friends Day is all about spending time with your nearest and dearest friends.

The ideal way to celebrate would be to get together in-person with your best friends and do what you most enjoy. If this is not a possibility, then there are plenty of free options to connect with your friends online. Sometimes a long video call can go a long way toward making a close friends’ day. If you are unsure of what to do with your friends, consider: going for a walk together through the park, watching a movie, or just hanging out or even share a photo of one of your best memories together and remind them just how dear they are to you.

"Friends are the family you choose and someone who knows all about you and still loves you ."🩷🎒

🫶 Supporting The Backpack Venture Charity with donations Officeworks .

When you are at Officeworks, are you like our team and go on the hunt, up and down the aisle to see what's new and marked down? Well that is what we do and we ALWAYS find new stock and GREAT markdowns.

Take a l👀k at what we found, 52 large pencil cases marked down, and Jason and Helen were so happy to help us collect them all and pack them up.

This purchase was made with the funds from the Officeworks Make A Difference Appeal and we love being able to give back to the business and Officeworks Kotara store for all the support and donations that have been given to our charity. 💙
