Join us in the World’s Greatest Shave

We are taking part in the World’s Greatest Shave and would like you to join us!

Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm. 

Each March, more than 20,000 extraordinary Aussies help beat blood cancer by getting sponsored to shave or colour their hair during the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. You may not know it but blood cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma. And every day another 35 people will be diagnosed.

Those taking part in World’s Greatest Shave make a difference by giving families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need. They also help fund vital research that will mean more people survive blood cancer, while improving their quality of life.

Join us for a morning of entertainment and help yourself to our morning tea and/or participate in our shaving and/or waxing activities. Be brave and get waxed for only $10 or shave for a $20 donation. Morning tea will also be available (minimum $5 donation applies).

When: Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm

Where: Cafe PARC

Click here to donate or to sign up and join Team PARC. No matter how much you give, it’s an extraordinary way to make a difference.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Unplug24
Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
