OUR IMPACT

2025

ASsistance dogs australia

Assistance Dogs Australia empowers connection, inclusion, and independence for people with disability. Our donation supported the placement of highly trained Assistance Dogs with individuals at no cost, removing financial barriers to access. Each partnership provides not only a trained dog, but a lifetime of support, ensuring long-term success for both client and animal. Assistance Dogs Australia maintains rigorous training and welfare standards, delivering dogs that are reliable, safe, and responsive in a wide range of environments. Through this work, the organisation enables greater independence, confidence, and participation in everyday life for people with disability.

ENdOMETRIOSIS AUSTRALIA

Endometriosis Australia advocates for people affected by endometriosis, a chronic condition impacting millions worldwide. Through national awareness campaigns, education initiatives, and direct support services, the organisation works to reduce stigma and improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life. Our donation contributed to programs that deliver patient education, fund critical research, and strengthen support networks for those navigating the condition. Endometriosis Australia also plays a key role in policy advocacy, driving systemic change within healthcare and government to improve outcomes at scale. Together, these efforts help ensure people living with endometriosis are informed, supported, and represented.

OUR BIG KITCHEN

OBK is a community run, non-denominational, industrial kitchen where meals are prepared for distribution to people in need across Sydney. Each week, hundreds of volunteers donate their time to cook thousands of meals, supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and crisis. OBK partners with local charities, shelters, and frontline services to ensure meals reach those who need them most, efficiently and with dignity. Since its inception, OBK has become a critical part of Sydney’s emergency food ecosystem, responding rapidly to surges in demand during times of heightened need. Its model demonstrates how community, infrastructure, and purpose can combine to create meaningful, scalable social impact.

Rodney Aphasia Group

Rodney Aphasia Group supports stroke survivors in New Zealand who are living with aphasia, a condition that affects communication following brain injury. Our contribution helped fund their operations and programmes that provide accessible pathways to communication, rehabilitation, and social connection. These services create safe, supportive environments where individuals can practise speech, rebuild confidence, and regain a sense of independence. The group plays a vital role in reducing isolation for people and families navigating life after stroke. Through consistent, community-based support, the Rodney Aphasia Group helps people reconnect with others and participate more fully in everyday life.
