'Orange Ride for Child Protection Awareness’ (OR4CPa). We ride to get the community talking, raise awareness of children being abused within our community and showing we stand with the abused. Abuse of any kind has no place in our community. Hearts and Hands Community Development - UMBRELLA HEARTS - This nationally gazetted Child Protection Awareness Day activity our Orange Ride for Child Protection Awareness (OR4CPa) aims to start a national conversation to raise awareness of the need to protect Children from abuse. Help us get the country talking and join your local OR4CPa and ride around the west side of Lake Macquarie.
205,156 Australian children were involved in notifications of abuse in 2020. This number has been and continues to grow. One child being abused is one too many, 205,156+children a year is shameful. It is time for all of us to take a stand and let it be known that abuse of children or others is not accepted in our community and we will no longer ignore or turn a blind eye to this tragic reality. We will make it known that, It’s not OK to hurt a child, every day it’s not OK
