Chris’ Kitchen

We manufacture vegan cakes and employ solely people who face barriers to employment, primarily survivors of domestic violence. We donate 3% of profits to fight hunger and we finance women-led small business ideas in emerging economies.

FISH (Foundation for Indigenous Sustainable Health)

FISH provides opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to improve their social and emotional wellbeing and break intergenerational cycles of trauma, poverty and engagement in the justice system.

Mettle

Mettle is a non-profit social enterprise that employs, trains and financially empowers those experiencing homelessness as a result of domestic & family violence. 100% of profits go towards creating the safe futures that victim-survivors around the nation deserve through safe paid work, scholarships, crisis funds, childcare subsidies and survivor designed support programs.

St Patrick s Community Support Centre

The Community Store is a welcoming space where people experiencing hardship or transitioning into housing can access clothing, household items, toiletries, and other essentials in a dignified and empowering way. The Community Store is built on the principles of choice, control, and respect. We recognise that people experiencing homelessness often have little control over their daily lives, and we believe everyone deserves the right to make their own decisions and feel proud of the items they bring into their home.

The Cariad Project Inc.

The Cariad Project is a Perth-based social enterprise that creates meaningful opportunities for children to give back while supporting their local community experiencing homelessness, hardship and marginalisation. Through hands-on programs such as Baking a Difference, children as young as three take part in interactive workshops where they create baked goods that are gifted to local support services. Each experience is paired with age-appropriate learning through story, art, and gentle conversation, helping children build empathy, understanding, and a sense of social responsibility. While the baked goods provide immediate care to young people in need, the lasting impact of The Cariad Project is the compassion, confidence, and community spirit being nurtured in the next generation.
