Sportsgirl

We've proudly been in partnership with Sportsgirl since 2021.

 

Purpose

Sportsgirl’s partnership with headspace is dedicated to raising vital funds to support the social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations young people. 

Young people today face numerous stressors, from school and work to relationships and global concerns like climate change. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, these challenges are compounded by the impacts of racism, intergenerational trauma, and marginalisation, adding significant and often invisible pressures to their lives.

 

Tote bags

Sportsgirl raise funds for headspace by donating a percentage of sales of tote bags in their stores throughout Australia. Recently, we collaborated with four young First Nations artists on the design of the reusable canvas totes bags. The artists, Holly, Siena, Stefanie and Tanaya participated in workshops where they were mentored by the headspace team and up and coming Arabana and Kokatha artist Mali Isabel. The workshops explored themes of mental health and social and emotional wellbeing and formed the basis of the inspiration behind their artwork. Each piece was brought to life in the artist’s own individual artistic style and reflects their personal journey.

“I feel very proud of the collection of artworks we’ve created together. We became a little family in such a short time and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a mentor and pass my knowledge onto the next generation”

Pushing Forward campaign

In 2024, we teamed up with Sportsgirl for their newest campaign all about pushing your mission forward. Alongside some of Sportsgirl’s other amazing youth-centered partners - HoMie, Minus 18, and PROJECT ROCKIT – the campaign asked the question ‘what’s your cause’ and shared the ways that we can work together to drive positive change in our communities. 

We were thrilled to have our incredible headspace Youth Reference Group members Fox and Annie take part in the campaign, getting in front of the camera and answering questions on what 'Pushing Forward' means to them.
