Heartening but heartbreaking to speak with some of those affected by the serious flooding in Australia. As ever, their sense of community and selflessness is humbling, but it is terrible that such devastation seems to be occurring more often. On the call were: Daniel Cleave and Curtis Arthur, owners of a small business in Shepparton, Victoria; Grace Langlands, a member of the NSW State Emergency Service; Maureen Carter, CEO of the Nindilingarri Health Service in the Kimberly Region of Western Australia; and Brad Flowers, owner of the Overland Corner Hotel, Upper Murray, South Australia. Collectively, these individuals represent small business owners, frontline responders and local community and Indigenous peoples leaders.

Thanks to the generosity of the Polish people, those fleeing the war in Ukraine have found shelter. Sadly, the humanitarian crisis continues today with many refugees seeking shelter at accommodation centres like the one we visited this week. This centre provides two free meals a day, Polish language lessons, psychological and employment support, and even a free shop giving its residents access to clothes as well as sanitary and hygiene products. It really is a sanctuary on the frontline of the humanitarian crisis.

The foundations for so many of the soft skills businesses are looking for in their workplaces are developed in the earliest years of our lives. Great to chat with Richard Walker all about our #ShapingUs campaign with The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
