In alignment with our major goals to assist people who are marginalised through disability, we have a number of community projects in action.
We will achieve this by bridging gaps in community access to the labour market through the continuing development and delivery of innovative projects and social enterprise initiatives, and creating sponsorship networks between industry and the community. Our projects include:
B2C Community IT Recyclers. a social enterprise with all funds raised through the project utilised to further the project’s goals:
- assisting local “individuals and communities in need” by providing low cost refurbished IT equipment
- reducing the amount of office and IT waste ending up in landfill through environmentally responsible recycling procedures
Our current primary project is to provide women and their children referred via The Queen’s Fund (https://www.queensfund.org.au/) quality refurbished laptops suitable for school and work. “This critical equipment enables women to empower themselves through access to education, employment opportunities, medical and social services, and improved connection with loved ones and community support networks.” (Queens Fund Annual Report 2025)
“My client will now be able to access her online course, which will give her an industry recognised qualification. Having a laptop means my client is closer to achieving her long-term goal of employment. Having stable employment will increase the family’s income and will mean that the family will no longer be just surviving. The laptop will give my client a purpose and increase her self worth.” (Queens Fund Annual Report 2026)
