Enhancing the lives of people living with a disability and those most at risk in our community.

Our Community Investment program addresses local needs by providing grants to organisations that assist those most disadvantaged. With the increase in demand for food relief due to rising cost-of-living pressures, we have supported neighbourhood houses and welfare services, ensuring they can continue providing essential food relief. Additionally, we have funded the purchase of vehicles and vans for disability and welfare service providers, helping them deliver crucial services more effectively.

We have provided Alkira with a grant to build a standalone self-contained facility in Mont Albert. The two-bedroom bungalow will provide transitional accommodation for two adults with an intellectual disability, complimented by on site support.

With your support we are in a position to provide vital financial relief to individuals and families in the City of Boroondara who are experiencing hardship, helping them meet essential needs such as food, healthcare, education and other living expenses. This assistance not only alleviates stress and anxiety but also helps prevent homelessness and food insecurity. Funding also supports our wellbeing programs which are are designed to combat loneliness and social isolation by fostering meaningful connections within the community. Hawthorn Community Chest
