Creating Impact Through People, Purpose and Partne Creating Impact Through People, Purpose and Partnership 🤝

The Bridge Works is the social enterprise arm of our organisation, creating meaningful and inclusive employment through a network of warehouses and mobile microbusinesses. Our blended workforce includes supported employees, training support officers and people from disadvantaged backgrounds, building real pathways to employment.

Sustainability for us goes beyond the environment. Through our partnership with Soap Aid, our team operates the soap recycling plant, sorting, cleaning and packaging soap diverted from landfill. Together, we now deliver over 1,000 bars of recycled soap every week to communities in need across Australia and overseas. 🌏🧼

This impact is amplified through Woollahra, a 100% Indigenous-owned not-for-profit. Through the Camps and Communities initiative, recycled soap reaches First Nations communities across Western Australia, supporting better access to hygiene and improved health outcomes.

By sharing shipping and using concentrated cleaning products across our Cleaning Crew services, we’re also reducing emissions and transport costs. 🚛🌿

We’re proud to work alongside social enterprises who prove that when people, purpose and partnership come together, lasting change is possible. ✨

When a Little Pig makes a Big Difference 🐷💙 When a Little Pig makes a Big Difference 🐷💙

One of our Support Coordination clients, Marcus, has been enjoying some very special visits with his support worker’s pet pig, Chester! 

Chester may be small, but his impact has been huge. Every time they spend time together, Marcus lights up with joy, gently patting, feeding, and bonding with his four-legged friend.

Pet-assisted interactions like these can be incredibly therapeutic, helping to reduce stress, lift mood, encourage social engagement, and build confidence. For Marcus, Chester has become more than just a cute visitor, he’s a source of motivation, emotional wellbeing, and happiness.

Sometimes the smallest companions bring the biggest smiles. ☺️
