Every woman's story deserves to be seen.
Women's health journeys are diverse, deeply personal and often invisible.
Through Stories We Carry, we're inviting women across Australia to help co-design a community scarf inspired by lived experience.
Whether you've experienced endometriosis, menopause, infertility, pregnancy loss, breast cancer, pelvic pain, chronic illness, mental health challenges, caregiving or simply the everyday realities of being a woman, your story matters.
Together, we'll create a wearable symbol of strength, hope and connection.

Stories We Carry is Impact Found Here's national community co-design initiative.
Each project invites a community to contribute artwork, symbols, colours, words and messages of hope that are thoughtfully woven into one collaborative scarf.
Every collection becomes a lasting reminder that no one walks their journey alone and every scarf tells the story of the people who helped create it.
