We're a small social enterprise based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Run by a three avid readers and our dog Echo (our quality control expert), with the vital support of a small group of supporters, we've managed to combine our love of reading with our passion for supporting & advocating for refugees. We do this through fundraising and by donating a portion of our profit to charities supporting refugees & asylum seekers, including the Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group, Refugee Advice & Casework Service and Rural Australians for Refugees. We're also strong proponents of a circular economy, as we sell mostly secondhand books that have been donated to us, as well as a selection of vintage clothing and items, thereby saving tonnes of books and clothing from waste disposal every year. We clean, sort and price each secondhand book to encourage people to reread them, often before having those same books donated back to us to go through the same process again!

U Shape Us is a Canberra-based social enterprise creating simple imagination games that spark conversation, connection and a sense of belonging. We design tools that invite people to share memories, express ideas, and imagine new ways of connecting with others. Our games are used in schools, community programs, and with older people across Australia. Our work is grounded in the belief that when people are supported to share their inner worlds and be heard, they are more likely to feel valued, included, and connected. Through our two games, U Shape Us and Up To Us, we create spaces where people of all ages can participate, contribute ideas, and shape their own experiences of belonging.

Clean underwear is a dignity issue. Charities can't accept second-hand undies; they have to buy them. We fixed that.

Our buy-one-give-one model has delivered over 60,000 pairs to people experiencing homelessness and domestic violence. We've diverted over 63,000 items from landfill through Australia's first underwear recycling scheme. We pay 50c per item sold to Aboriginal community projects. Our supply chain pays workers 60% above the living wage. Founded by Kelly Barrett, a 25-year veteran of underwear design and development, UH exists to prove that integrity can be easy, and that the brands people choose every day can quietly change the world. We are ready to scale and actively seeking partners who believe the same thing.
