On My Feet

On My Feet On My Feet takes a hand-up approach by supporting people experiencing homelessness to transition to self-sufficiency.

On My Feet empowers Australians at risk of or experiencing homelessness to achieve self-sufficiency through exercise, education, employment, and wellbeing—transforming lives with dignity, resilience, and real pathways out of disadvantage. We help people experiencing homelessness through exercise – walking and running – to build a community of support and a structure to help achieve their goal: to

get back on their feet. Our programs help people recover self-respect, a sense of purpose and self-sufficiency by building resilience through exercise and education. They offer structure, a community of support, achievable goals and a sense of control for when people are in a vulnerable position.

🌼 Spring was definitely in the air last weekend at the 2026 Col Junner Spring To It Run!

​It was such a lovely day down at Kent St Weir, and the trail was looking incredible. We loved seeing so many new faces running right alongside our regular participants—what a fantastic way to welcome the new season! A special shoutout to the amazing participant, Naomi from our Women’s Empowerment Program who joined us; seeing your energy out on the course was truly inspiring.

A massive thank you to West Australian Marathon Club for generously donating free entries to our participants. We are so grateful for this partnership and for your support in helping our community grow!

Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible teamwork behind the scenes. Endless gratitude to our amazing volunteers and peer mentors for your time, cheer, and dedication. You made the day run seamlessly! 👏

Thank you to everyone who came out to run, walk, and cheer. See you at the next one!

✨ Building Strength & Connection ✨

​Last week, our Women’s Empowerment Program welcomed a guest presentation exploring community support models, including the structure of Narcotics Anonymous: A 12-Step Program.

​The educational session focused on universal tools for personal growth, goal-setting, and mutual support:
1. ​Peer Connection: Learning how shared experiences build trust and reduce isolation.
2. ​Core Values: Practising Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness to develop healthy, positive daily habits.
3. ​Mentorship: Exploring how one-on-one guided support keeps us accountable to our personal and professional goals.
4. ​Steady Progress: Taking growth "one day at a time" to build sustainable, long-term success.

​It was a fantastic session filled with encouraging discussion and practical takeaways. We’re so proud of these women as they continue expanding their skills and investing in their future pathways!

🌮 A huge thank you to Wild Food for generously donating delicious tacos to our On My Feet community during Tuesday evening’s strength training session at Wellington Square!

The food was absolutely delicious, and we’re so grateful to owners Ben and Anna for their kindness and support. 💙

If you’re in the area on a Tuesday, their mobile van is next to the playground at Wellington Square — definitely worth a visit! 🌮🙌

Thank you, Wild Foods! ☺️

Another Awesome Power Thursday!

Yesterday was another beautiful day of connection, movement and community!

Our Thursday morning walk group made the most of Perth’s chilly end-of-winter weather, with plenty of beautiful conversations along the way. There’s something incredibly powerful about simply walking together — moving our bodies, getting some fresh air, slowing down and connecting with others. Walking can do wonders for our mental wellbeing, and of course, finishing with a barista coffee at Kinky Lizard and a chat makes it even better! ☕💙

Then, yesterday evening, our regular Walk/Jog session at Victoria Gardens became extra special when Ben Castlehow made the journey all the way from Albany to join us!

Many in our community know Ben’s incredible journey with On My Feet. After overcoming some incredibly challenging times, he has gone on to achieve amazing things through running, community and mentorship. This year, Ben was honoured with the prestigious Chairman’s Award — an incredible and well-deserved recognition of his journey and the inspiration he continues to bring to others. 🏆

It was especially lovely to see Ben meet and connect with participants from our Women’s Empowerment Program, sharing encouragement, motivation and a simple reminder that change is possible — one step at a time.

And of course, we couldn’t let him leave without gifting him one of our latest very cool On My Feet hoodies! 😎💙 A small thank you to someone who has given so much back to our community. Ben, you absolutely deserve it!

A huge thank you to all our participants, volunteers and peer mentors who joined us yesterday. And a very special thank you to Ben for sharing your journey, and inspiring and motivating every one of us.

That’s the magic of community. You show up for a walk, and sometimes you leave with a little more hope, a little more connection and a reminder that you’re not walking alone.

Missed us yesterday? Come and join us next week!

🌅 Tuesday morning — 8.00am
🌅 Thursday morning — 8:00am
📍 Meet us in front of The Beacon

Everyone is welcome. Come for the walk, stay for the conversation… and maybe the coffee too! ☕

Every journey starts with showing up. ❤️

Naomi and Kellee are two of the 15 incredible women taking part in our 2026 Women’s Empowerment Program — and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

For the past four weeks, they have shown up to every single session — three sessions a week! 👏 Their commitment, determination and willingness to step outside their comfort zones have been truly inspiring.

Their stories are inspiring, but what’s even more inspiring is the commitment, courage and determination they continue to show week after week.

We’re so proud of you, Naomi and Kellee! 💙🧡 Keep showing up, keep stepping forward and keep inspiring others. 👏

Saturday mornings at Claisebrook Cove parkrun are always special — and this one was extra memorable. 🧡💙

We had a fantastic turnout at our regular Saturday parkrun, with women from our Women’s Empowerment Program joining us alongside our regular participants.

What makes it even more meaningful is seeing some of our regulars who once took their very first step with On My Feet now coming back week after week. That’s the kind of journey that makes us incredibly proud — from taking that first step to becoming part of a community. ❤️

For our women in the program, it was another opportunity to challenge themselves, keep moving forward and discover what they’re capable of. And they weren’t doing it alone.

There was plenty of encouragement, laughter and support along the way, with the On My Feet team cheering them on, motivating them and giving them that extra push when they needed it.

But ultimately, this morning was all about them.

The courage it takes to get up early, come along, give it a go and keep pushing yourself deserves to be celebrated. Every step forward matters — and we couldn’t be prouder of the women who continue to choose themselves and their own journey. 🧡

And then, of course, came the best kind of finish — beautiful barista coffee at Kinky Lizard , lots of laughs and meaningful conversations in a safe, welcoming and judgement-free environment. ☕️

Because at On My Feet, it’s never just about exercise.

It’s about connection, confidence, belonging and knowing you have people beside you.

Well done, BLUE BRIGADE! 💙🧡
