We believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home
It is a basic human right
Ending homelessness will take a whole of community response
Through innovative campaigns we enable and empower communities
to raise vital funds and awareness
to bring about change for people experiencing homelessness or at risk.
We keep it grassroots, we keep it local
We seek out, support and partner with small organisations and projects, in the communities where funds are raised.
Recently Funded Projects
9,500 kits distributed as SleepSafe collaboration turns 3!
The latest distribution of over 9,500 Sleep Kits comes as we celebrate 3 years of the SleepSafe partnership with Sheridan Australia. The continuous efforts of Sheridan staff and donations from their customers have enabled over 64,000 kits to be given to Australians at risk of, or experiencing homelessness. By delivering free, high-quality sheets and towels to community organisations on the ground, SleepSafe has saved the sector $2.2 million in staff wages and material aid costs.
‘Housing First’ funded through Making-a-Home
$56,000 worth of recent grants are providing flexible brokerage to nine ‘Zero’ programs, working to end street homelessness through ‘Housing First’. These local collaborations are working together to identify and house our most vulnerable rough sleepers. Our incredible EOFY donors have enabled us to help support people when they gain housing, ensuring that their new home is sustainable and comfortable.
$55,000 for SmartMeals, securing jobs and fighting hunger
Our most recent round of SmartMeals grants saw a total of $55,000 distributed to 11 food based social enterprises. This was made possible by our incredible EOFY donors and supporters and will mean a further 20,625 nutritious and culturally appropriate meals will be given to people living on the margins. These grants have also provided employment security and training opportunities for disadvantaged workers.
