Community Projects

While there are many government-funded initiatives and large charity organisations to help many people in our society, many others are forgotten and overlooked. They don’t fit the right criteria for existing funding, so we do what we can to make sure they don’t fall through the cracks.

Our Community Projects reach out to a wide range of people across the nation, encompassing:

  • Disabled
  • Refugees
  • Indigenous
  • Elderly
  • Homeless
