INTRODUCING THE NEW LOOK OF THE CODE 9 FOUNDATION

Evolving to support our community better

The Code 9 Foundation was built entirely through the dedication of our volunteers and the support of our first responder community. We pride ourselves on using all donations and goods to support first responders, their families, and carers.

Our foundation originated from the need for connection within a community of first responders experiencing PTSD, and other mental health conditions. We took action to create a real impact.

As we've grown, we have continually evolved through the generosity of our supporters and the hard work of a talented Committee who’s donated time, expertise, and skills have taken us from very humble beginnings to what we are today.

We have recognised though, that to continue to evolve, particularly in the marketing area, we needed to re-brand.

While a full branding exercise can cost tens of thousands of dollars, we spent exactly $0.00, thanks to the Committee’s hard work. We are thrilled to present a new look and feel with zero impact to our donations.

It is important to note that nothing has changed as to who we represent, which includes police, professional fire fighters, paramedics and “000” operators, 10% of which will suffer a mental health injury during their career.

We believe this new branding will enhance our already strong reputation within the community, increase awareness among organisations and businesses unfamiliar with our behind-the-scenes work and further establish our visibility.

As more first responders come forward seeking help, or are referred to us, we aim to support as many as possible.

To achieve this, we will reach out to other organisations, businesses, and community groups for donations, goods, services, or simply a safe place for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee.

We have a number of exciting projects coming up in the next few months and look forward to sharing them with you.

We know PTSD affects not just the member but those around them, so we will introduce new initiatives to provide broader support within our community.
