Opportunity International is working to not just fight poverty but end it. Giving families the tools they need to work their way out of poverty, live safe and healthy lives, send their children to school and create a new future for generations to come.
5.6 million families in Asia are making the journey out of poverty thanks to the great work of Opportunity International. 95% of loan clients are female and they have an amazing 98% loan repayment rate. Gordian Business is proud to have supported 685 families out of poverty. We are so impressed with the work of Opportunity International that Stephen included them as a case study in his latest best-selling book The Creative Negotiator.

Global Action - Permaculture
As well as being leaders of negotiation, innovation and account management, Gordian is dedicated to environmental sustainability. To address the crisis of environmental destruction and to mitigate its effects on current and future generations, Gordian Business has explored an environmentally sustainable form of design, known as Permaculture.
Developed by Bill Mollison and David Holgrem in the 1970s, Permaculture is a means of sustainable development, design and food production that can be exercised in any climate, with any culture. Permaculturalists seek to return food production to cities, minimise waste and maximise sustainable energy use.
The Permaculture Community comes together at International Permaculture Convergences.
The International Permaculture Convergence brings together Permaculture practitioners from around the world to share their experiences and to strategise about the future of the Permaculture movement. Policy makers, researchers, academia, farmers, and some of the most inspiring and experienced practitioners from around the world come together to think, share, innovate, learn and dialogue in a diverse and engaging programme.
The latest theme 'Towards Healthy Societies' had special emphasis on women as agents of change in building sustainable communities. Gillian is well on her journey as an agent of change. When she became a ferment revivalist and started sharing her passion to empower others to 'Ferment to Better Health', through Cultured Artisans. You can learn more by emailing Gillian at: gillian@culturedartisans.com.au.
Newport Over 35s Rubgy Club
Our working lives are becoming longer and more stressful. This increases the risk to our mental health and reduces the time we have to socialise. Studies now show that the stress we feel during our working careers impact the enjoyment and health of our retirement.

Physical exercise has been proven to have positive benefits on people’s mental health. Exercise releases chemicals, like endorphins and serotonin which improve your mood. Group exercise has now been proven to help reduce loneliness and isolation. https://www.medibank.com.au/livebetter/health-brief/health-insights/join-the-community-can-group-exercise-improve-your-mental-wellbeing/
