🚲 Growing Health Communities – Supporting Freedom Wheels Expansion We’re excited to share that Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) is funding regional Freedom Wheels partnership establishment work through the Growing Healthy Communities program! With a Round One project underway in Ballarat and a Round Two project set to begin in Gippsland, this support will expand access to customised assistive technology. Regional partnerships will help enable inclusive cycling opportunities for people with disability across Victoria. Recently we had the pleasure of welcoming VicHealth and our local MP Anthony Cianflone MP to our Coburg North workshop. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how our dedicated staff and volunteers work alongside people with disability to co-design personalised assistive technology and equipment solutions. The visit sparked important conversations about: ✅ The need for customised assistive technology ✅ The importance of accessible, community-based services ✅ Supporting independence, participation, and quality of life for people with disability and their families 📸 Pictured Image 1 (left to right): David Hubbard (Freedom Wheels Volunteer, Freedom Solutions Australia) Kathleen Nicholls (Acting CEO, Freedom Solutions Australia) Lachlan Pagan (Bike Builder, Freedom Solutions Australia) Tammy Pararajasingham (Executive Manager, Strategy, Policy and Impact Group, VicHealth) Anthony Cianflone MP (State Member for Pascoe Vale) Graham Porteous (Freedom Wheels Volunteer, Freedom Solutions Australia) Brad Jordan (Deputy Chair, Freedom Solutions Australia Board) Thank you to VicHealth and all of partners for supporting our work to build healthier, more inclusive communities 💙 #FreedomSolutionsAustralia #FreedomWheels #CleverIdeasChangingLives
