Our Social Purpose Organisations

Bridge It is a new charity that evolved from a successful social enterprise called Home Share Melbourne. Bridge It aims to create solutions to homelessness and housing stress. We do this by focusing on creating “homes” not houses and connecting people to support within their home and in the wider community. The team at Bridge It wants to play a part in ending homelessness in Australia. No one should have to sleep on the street because of a lack of affordable or appropriate housing.

Wilya Janta is a grass-roots housing collaboration promoting community agency in the design and construction of housing in Indigenous communities. To place remote Indigenous families at the centre of the design/construction/evaluation lifecycle of housing to ensure iterative improvements over the decades to come, and to build strong relationships between these communities and design/construction industry partners to ensure best practice construction methods that are cost effective and scalable and that allow for community engagement at all levels.

In September 2018, FoodFilled was established; a not-for-profit devoted to combating food wastage and hunger. Initially, their mission was to start small and provide support to our local communities, partnering with independent bakeries, cafes and restaurants. What started as a few friends transporting small parcels of food to local charities is now comprised of hundreds of volunteers delivering tonnes of food each year. Today, FoodFilled has a dynamic and diverse community of volunteers including a large cohort of university students committed to making a difference.

What is a 10x10 event?

10×10 runs shark-tank style events aimed at raising funds and awareness for early-stage innovative Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs). At each event, three SPOs pitch their organisation to a business-savvy shark in front of a live audience, who in turn will ask probing questions about their model.

At this event, you will be given the opportunity to meet the founders of some of Victoria’s most inspirational SPOs, interact with other likeminded professionals, and win incredible raffle and auction prizes, all while enjoying complimentary drinks, canapés, and entertainment.
