“Thank you so much StreetSmart for your generous support and donation. As an emerging grassroots social enterprise, it means a lot to have some financial assistance to achieve our mission in breaking the cycles of homelessness. These funds will make a great difference and allow us to train and employ people experiencing homelessness in our micro-café Ground+Co. Thank you also to the cafes that participate in the CafeSmart initiative – it’s this wonderful community love that helps smaller organisations like us make an impact in the community we’re all part of.”
Katie Liew, Founder/CEO

Sunny Street Team “Sunny Street is incredibly grateful to receive support from StreetSmart! This donation assists our team to continue providing outreach medical services to Australians experiencing homelessness and complex vulnerabilities. Our volunteer Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics and Team Leaders have conversations, and provide health education, immunisations, sexual health screening, wound care, support around mental health issues & substance use, and referrals into mainstream healthcare services. Information on the Sunny Street service can be found at www.sunnystreet.org. Thank you StreetSmart for your support!”
Sonia Goodwin, Co-Founder & Nursing Director

We know that 2020 has been a very difficult time for everyone in the hospitality industry. Many communities have stood by and supported their local cafés while also helping vulnerable people through this pandemic.

CafeSmart is an event embedded in local communities and has for 10 years been about uniting us all to help the vulnerable. In 2020 we didn’t want to miss the chance to pull the community together, drive business to your café and give everyone the chance to support their vulnerable community members.

That’s why we’ve made a few changes to the event, including holding it later in October and extending it from just one day to a week. More details to come …

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our organisation is located and where we conduct our business. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present. StreetSmart is committed to honouring Indigenous peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
