Because Only Together We Can
Explore our mission focused on fostering positive change in lives, navigating complex government schemes, providing essential hygiene backpacks, and offering long-term assistance beyond struggles.
Who We Are
You can find us at 40 Belvoir Street, Surry Hills (Ward Park), where we host our monthly Community Engagement Feasts on the 4th THURSDAY of every month between 6pm to 8pm. It’s more than just a gathering; it’s a sanctuary for our community to come together, share a meal, and build connections. Whether you’re seeking warmth, companionship, or simply a place to belong, we extend our arms wide, inviting you to join us in this sacred space.
Through initiatives like our Essential Hygiene Backpack program, we provide vital supplies and support to individuals in need, ensuring they have access to basic necessities for hygiene and well-being. It’s a gesture of care and solidarity, a reminder that no one is forgotten or left behind.
But our commitment goes beyond immediate needs. We recognize that homelessness is a multifaceted issue, rooted in systemic challenges and historical injustices. That’s why we’re deeply invested in long-term solutions. Our team works tirelessly to assist homeless individuals in navigating the labyrinth of government systems, offering guidance, advocacy, and referrals to essential services. By empowering individuals to access the support they need, we’re not just providing temporary relief; we’re paving the way for lasting change and systemic transformation.
We’re thrilled to have you join us in our mission to create positive change and uplift those in need. Whether you’re seeking support, looking to get involved, or simply want to learn more, we welcome you with open arms. Together, we can make a real difference – one act of kindness at a time.
For all Australians, and with a deep respect for our Indigenous roots, we stand united in our commitment to positively impact each other’s lives. We understand that diversity is our strength, and we embrace all languages, cultures, and backgrounds. In this space of inclusivity and love, every smile, every backpack, every laugh, brings us closer to our shared vision of a world where everyone has a place to call home.
