🌍 Today, on International Day of the Girl Child, we stand alongside girls everywhere, amplifying their voices and celebrating their vision for a brighter future. This year’s theme is “Girl’s Vision for the Future” reminding us that while girls face global challenges—from climate crises to gender inequality—they are resilient, courageous, and full of hope.

At GOGO Events, we believe in empowering girls and creating spaces where they can thrive. But they can’t do it alone—they need allies who will listen, support, and act. Together, we can help unleash the limitless potential of over 1.1 billion girls worldwide. When girls lead, they drive change for families, communities, and beyond.

Let’s continue investing in their future, ensuring every girl has the opportunity to fulfil her dreams. 💪💫

This World Mental Health Day 2024, the theme is: "It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace." With workplace stress impacting countless employees without the support they need, it’s time to take a stand and commit to action. People with mental health challenges are especially vulnerable to discrimination, stigma, and harmful stereotypes in professional settings, which significantly affects their well-being and social inclusion.

At GOGO Events, we advocate for mental health as a basic human right and encourage workplaces to offer the support and resources their employees need. Let’s create environments where mental health is prioritised, leading to healthier, more inclusive spaces for all. 🌿💖

💛 Today is R U OK? Day 💛

Let's take a moment to check in with those around us. At GOGO Events, we believe in the power of connection and conversation. Sometimes, a simple "Are you okay?" can make all the difference.

Have a conversation using these 4 steps
1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check-in

Whether it's at an event or in everyday life, let's be there for one another. Remember, you don't need to be an expert to ask, listen, and support.

R U OK?
