On My Feet is an intensive outcomes based program to transition vulnerable Australian's from shelter to self-sufficiency by providing a hand up rather than a hand out. The hand up is the provision of many exercise (walking/running) groups to help form a sense of belonging and community and to improve members' mental and physical health. Valuable education and skills help empower our members to lead a purposeful life and help them re-enter the workplace. Members' self-worth, sense of purpose and dignity improve - and being part of a positive walking/running community- they experience inclusivity and acceptance. With volunteers and participants all wearing the same kit - they are like everyone else - a runner/walker. Many lives are transformed and made purposeful through On My Feet.
