UrCommunity Timebanking - Feeding Australia
Description
UrCommunity Feeding Australia is a unique organisation reducing barriers to getting things you need! We believe Poverty is unnecessary and unacceptable. UrCommunity Ltd is a Not-For-Profit, registered charity as a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status 1, aspiring to promote the rights of an appropriate standard of living for all Australians, regardless of gender, age or ethnicity as articulated in the UN Human Rights Declaration.
UrCommunity is building community as well as promoting self-sufficiency, food security and access to free meals for the disadvantaged. This will also be through a range of inter related social enterprise projects aimed at ensuring greater participation, access, linkages and inclusiveness.
UrCommunity aims to reduce the financial barriers that prevent ordinary Australians from being able to achieve an appropriate standard of living. These activities will also assist to transition attitudes away from an economic transactional perspective towards a social integration perspective.
UrCommunity Initiatives Pty. Ltd. is a social enterprise which assists to underpin activities of UrCommunity Ltd. A social enterprise is an organisation which applies commercial strategies to maximise improvements in human and environmental well-being, rather than maximising profits for external shareholders.

The long forgotten and abused Human Rights declaration. Agreed to and signed off by so many countries after WWII. Please Memorise these - it's Important to know what they are. Wishing you all a wonderful seeing in of the New Year! Where did the year go? What are your goals for 2017? Any NY resolutions? Here are a couple of really important Human Rights that weren't listed in this infographic! - Article 25.1 – Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his/her control. - Article 27.1 – Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. - Article 29.1 – Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible. We posted this on our webpage from the beginning because it drives everything we do at UrCommunity. -- History of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- On 10 December 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The world having recently endured the horrors of World War 11, decided to put in place a road map to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The final document consists of some 30 Articles which provide for rights for all persons and has been adopted by Australia as a signatory.
