Every purchase in our Gift Shop helps us give back locally. 
Kindness With Purpose
The Kindness Project was born from lived experience of the foster care system, disability care and the gaps that can leave people without the opportunities and support they need and deserve.
We wanted to create something different. A welcoming place where people feel valued, build confidence, learn practical skills and experience a genuine sense of belonging.
Our focus is on supporting people living with disability, those who have experienced out-of-home care and others facing barriers to opportunity within our local community.
Creating Real Opportunities
Through our Gift Shop and skills programs, we provide meaningful employment, practical workplace experience and opportunities to develop confidence and independence.
It’s about giving people the chance to participate, contribute and grow at their own pace.
Giving Back Locally
Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference.
Whether it’s a pair of basketball shoes, help with sporting registration fees, essential household items or access to community activities, we provide practical assistance to people who need it.
Our aim is simple: to remove everyday barriers and give more people the opportunity to participate, belong and grow.
Every Little Bit Helps
Making a difference takes a community.
