Special Screening of The Blind Sea

Join Us for a Special Screening of The Blind Sea

We are excited to invite you to a screening of The Blind Sea, an inspiring and breathtaking documentary featuring Jacqui’s brother, Matt Formston—an Australian Paralympian and 4x World Champion blind surfer. Diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy at the age of five, Matt has defied the odds, overcoming judgment and prejudice to succeed at the highest level, both in and out of the water.

This thought-provoking documentary not only explores Matt’s remarkable career but also his attempt to break the world record for a blind surfer by tackling the monster waves of Nazaré. Alongside insights from surfing legends like Layne Beachley AO, Sam Bloom, and Joel Parkinson, Matt’s story is sure to inspire, especially as he aims to motivate the next generation.

This screening is also a fantastic opportunity for our network to come together, connect, and enjoy an uplifting evening. Bring a friend and join us for a night of adventure and community!

We hope to see you there!

Building Biodiversity: Insect Hotels for Every Garden

Whether you have a small urban backyard or sprawling farmland, building an insect hotel can significantly boost biodiversity in your garden. Insect hotels, made from natural or recycled materials, provide much-needed shelter for various beneficial insects, from pollinators like native bees to natural pest controllers such as ladybugs and lacewings. These tiny workers are crucial for healthy ecosystems, ensuring the survival of flowering plants and protecting crops from harmful pests.
