The Orange Sock Foundation (OSF) is a newly created charity aimed at assisting those who have been affected by workplace or traffic accidents. The key purposes of the organisation are to:
• Promote and foster a support network for those who have sustained injuries as a result of workplace or traffic incidents;
• Encourage and support linking with both peer and professional support for those who require assistance;
• Assist where possible with personal support for those persons recovering who do not have ready access to family and friends;
• Provide a forum for peer group meetings and activities for the purpose of supporting and being supported during recovery; and
• Lobby government and other organisations on behalf of those who have sustained injuries at work or on the road.
