Community involvement

As well as providing a service to Australian beaders Feeling Inspired values local and international communities and has enjoyed being involved in numerous community organisations and charities.

	Sri Lankan Orphanage Project The West Ryde Anglican Church support girls who are part of a Sri Lankan Orphanage by sending packages each year for every girl who is part of the orphanage. In October approximately fifty packages are shipped over to the orphanage. Feeling Inspired has donated stock to include in the packages for these girls.
	Operation Foundation Operation Foundation is a Christian Restorative Ministry active in bringing renewal and transformation in the community of incarcerated offenders and ex-offenders in Fiji. We have donated beads and tools to the Suva Women's Prison in Fiji to help in developing team skills, patience and income generation for the ladies during their prison stay as well as after release.

	Cure Our Kids Cure Our Kids is a charity dedicated to supporting the Oncology Unit at the Children's Hospital at Westmead. The team at Cure Our Kids has developed the Bravery Bead program, which aims to reward each child for their immense courage. When a child is diagnosed, they are given a set of beads spelling their name, then each time they undergo a specific treatment, they are presented with an amulet that represents that treatment, the amulets are collected, threaded together and worn with pride. Feeling Inspired has been giving ongoing support to the Bravery Bead program by supplying beads representative of each of the treatments the children undergo. Bravery Beads
