Great day volunteering as a team for Anglicare Southern Queensland at their newly built youth homelessness accommodation project!
It’s great to see more housing being provided for young people experiencing housing insecurity, and a great chance to test our flat packing skills.
We are currently working with Anglicare SEQ on another exciting project which we look forward to sharing more about soon.

We look forward to sharing more images of this exciting project.

We are supporting Second Chance Programme by joining the Winter Sleepout for Homelessness. Eric, Julia, Cam, Nick, and Emily will all be sleeping out next week.

To donate to our team and help raise funds for women and children who are at risk of homelessness, follow the link in our bio!

Second Chance Programme is a fundraising organisation that distributes funds through the Combined Women’s Refuge network and supports the establishment of targeted programs that help women and children experiencing hardship.

One initiative we’re particularly proud to support is the Safety Net Hub, a service that helps women identify and remove tracking devices and spyware from phones, vehicles, personal devices, and even children’s toys.
As a 100% volunteer-run organisation, no wages are paid, ensuring that 99% of funds raised go directly towards helping women and children access safer housing and build more secure futures.

Don’t forget to donate!

Sharing with Friends is a co-housing model developed to address one of Australia’s fastest growing and most invisible cohorts of people experiencing housing insecurity: older women with modest savings or superannuation, for whom the private rental market offers little security and steadily erodes what little they have put aside. Typically, these women do not have the means to purchase a home or unit outright, nor can they qualify for a mortgage, yet they are usually ineligible for aged care or standard social housing. The model was conceived to give them another path.

Our Practice Partner Eloise Atkinson has been working with the Sharing with Friends Foundation since 2021, and will be speaking about the co-housing model tonight at eMagn QLD’s Value Talk 07: Housing Futures Policy, Support and Design.
