The Good (Adelaide)

Every person deserves to feel safe, loved and at home in the world. Yet for many LGBT+ Australians — particularly young people — that sense of belonging can feel impossibly out of reach. Rejection by family and community, isolation, significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicide, and homelessness driven by family breakdown are realities that far too many LGBT+ people face.

In regional and rural Australia, where support is scarcer and judgment can be harsher, the challenges run even deeper.

But there is a better vision — one where LGBT+ Australians find a secure, celebrated place in the world, and where that flourishing makes the whole community richer. A bigger table, not a smaller one.

This monthly summit brings together charities, supporters, volunteers and donors committed to that hopeful vision — supporting LGBT+ Australians with compassion, inclusion and practical help. Together we hear what's happening, amplify the organisations doing this vital work, and find meaningful ways to get involved.

Whether you have time, money, skills or simply a belief that everyone deserves to belong — there is a place for you here.

Join us every [3rd Tuesday] of the month online.

Growing old should be a time of dignity, connection and care. Yet across Australia, thousands of elderly people face their later years in isolation, neglect and vulnerability — often without the voice or the means to ask for what they need.

This monthly summit brings together charities, supporters, volunteers and donors who believe every older Australian deserves to be seen, valued and cared for. Together we take stock of where the movement is, hear from the organisations doing the hard work, and find meaningful ways to help.

Whether you have time, money, skills or simply a caring heart — there is a place for you here.

Australia is one of the most successfully multicultural nations on earth — built, enriched and enlivened by people who came from every corner of the world and chose to call this country home. Yet the journey of settling into a new country can be profoundly difficult. Language barriers, isolation, discrimination, the grief of leaving family behind, and the challenge of having qualifications and experience go unrecognised are just some of the obstacles newcomers face. For refugees and asylum seekers, there are additional layers of trauma, uncertainty and legal complexity to navigate.

This monthly summit brings together charities, supporters, volunteers and donors who believe that whoever is here and struggling deserves compassion and practical support.

Together we hear what's happening, support the organisations doing this vital work, and find meaningful ways to help.

Whether you have time, money, skills or simply a welcoming heart — there is a place for you here.

Bushfires, floods, cyclones and storms have always been part of life in Australia — but they are becoming more frequent and more devastating.

Behind every disaster are thousands of ordinary people who have lost their homes, their livelihoods and sometimes their loved ones, facing a long road to recovery that stretches far beyond the media cycle.

And before disaster ever arrives, there are the volunteers — the firefighters, SES crews, flood rescue teams and emergency responders who train year-round and put themselves in harm's way so others don't have to. These groups are the backbone of Australia's disaster readiness, and they need our support.

This monthly summit brings together charities, supporters, volunteers and donors committed to resourcing our communities before disaster strikes and standing with them through recovery afterwards. Together we hear what's happening, support the organisations doing this vital work, and find practical ways to help.

Whether you have time, money, skills or simply a desire to help when it matters most — there is a place for you here.

Join us every [3rd Friday] of the month online.
