Riders to pass halfway mark – Tour d’Horse Day Three

The KIDS Foundation < 1 min read

After two epic days in the saddle, the Tour d’Horse riders mount up once again for day three - a picturesque ride where the physical demands will be matched only by the stunning scenery and the growing sense of camaraderie.


Proudly supported by Yulong, one of Australia’s leading breeding and racing operations. Known for their world-class facilities and commitment to equine welfare, Yulong’s partnership promotes how industry leaders are getting behind the KIDS Foundation’s mission to raise $1 million for children recovering from burns and trauma.


Riders departed on horseback this morning, winding their way through the countryside en route to lunch at the scenic Scone Polo Grounds - with full vehicle access allowing supporters and media to join.


“There’s a real buzz among the riders as we head into Day Three. Bonds are forming, stories are being shared around the campfires, and you can feel the growing connection, not just between rider and horse, but between people who’ve come together for something bigger than themselves." said KIDS Foundation CEO Susie O’Neill.


As Tour d’Horse enters the halfway mark of the six-day challenge, day three will test the rider’s endurance, but create meaningful and impactful conversations.

A VNR recap will be made available for media at 3PM.

SSI welcomes government’s response as Australia confronts rising Islamophobia

SSI has welcomed the Australian Government’s response to the National Response to Islamophobia report, developed by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia. Schools will play a key role in the government’s commitments, building understanding of Muslim communities and promoting greater respect across Australia. While education is a fundamental building block for inclusion and respect, SSI’s CEO Violet Roumeliotis said Australia’s response to rising Islamophobia needs to extend beyond the education system to drive change across all services the government delivers. “The government's response includes important and welcome measures, but tackling Islamophobia requires more than education alone. Every part of government…

Resilient but stretched: New research tracks the state of Australia’s social economy

For-purpose organisations across Australia are under increasing strain in the face of mounting economic and workforce pressures, according to the latest results of the Centre for Social Impact's landmark social economy study released today. Drawing on responses from 219 social economy organisations – a 56% increase in participation on last year's inaugural survey – the study provides the most detailed picture yet of Australia’s social economy, encompassing charities, other not-for-profits, social enterprises, cooperatives, mutuals and philanthropic organisations, all driven by a social or environmental mission rather than a profit motive. Collectively, these organisations make a significant contribution to Australia’s economy…
