It is easier to build a strong boy than repair a broken man

BOYS TO THE BUSH (BTTB)

A rapidly growing group across NSW assisting boys between 8 and 20 years old, on a mission to assist boys to become good men.

Removing boys from troubled environments and distractions, replacing them with positive influences, mentoring and a sense of belonging, helps build self-respect, mateship, resilience and confidence.

These interventions reduce homelessness, addictions, juvenile incarceration, self-harm and suicide. BttB aim to build better men, partners, husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and employees.

Founded in Albury in 2017, the organisation has expanded to provide services in Forbes, Bathurst, Young, Leeton, Dubbo, Wellington, Wagga Wagga, Wangaratta, Echuca and Bendigo plus reviewing options of establishing in Orange, Tamworth, Yass and Canberra.

BttB has positively impacted over 7,000 lives through involvement across a range of programs, including one-on-one MENtoring Programs, Camps, School Programs, Education Programs, Alternative Care Arrangements and Community Engagement Days. Ongoing support is provided to over 75% of the youth engaged with Boys to the Bush programs.

In 2022, they were recognised with “The Most Outstanding Community Organisation” award by Business NSW.

During the ride we’ll meet some of the BttB team and the young men who are benefitting from their services. The RTG24 rider team is looking forward to raising funds and leaving a lasting legacy to support the operation so and success of BttB.

Boys to the Bush are creating better fathers, sons, husbands, brothers and employees for the future

At FDC, we have been in business for over three decades. And while we’ve certainly grown, we’ve never lost sight of what matters most. People.

We’re continually inspired by our relationships, partnerships and collaborations. We’re a family business, powered by connection, working together for a better world. We pledge to help numerous causes that have made a personal impact to our people, families, partners or clients. To us, giving back to the wider community is not only our corporate social responsibility, but a hugely satisfying pursuit that has a positive impact on our employees and beyond. From fundraising events to sponsorships, we’re dedicated to leaving a legacy we can all be proud of.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders - past, present and emerging - and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year we ride across the land of the Wiradjuri, Ngunnawal, Tarlo, Burra Burra, Wollondilly, Pajong, Parramarragoo and Cookmal peoples. We acknowledge and respect these living cultures and their peoples, as the traditional custodians of the land on which we ride and pay tribute to the unique role that they have played and continue to play in the region.
