The need for collective action to address pressing social issues has never been more urgent. Social responsibility, the idea of acting for the benefit of society at large, is gaining increasing importance for many Australians.

That's why we're excited to launch the Berry Street Change Collective, our new social change initiative uniting organisations and individuals to drive social change together. The Change Collective is driven by the belief that we can achieve far more together than we can alone.

Driving positive change together

At Berry Street, our mission is to support those experiencing poverty, violence and abuse. The past few years have been challenging for all of us, but especially for those already doing it tough. We've seen the growing impact of social and financial pressures, family violence and declining mental health across our services.

It's clear that it's time for change.

But we recognise that we can't do it alone. Real change happens when passionate individuals and organisations come together to make a difference. That's where the Berry Street Change Collective comes in.

The Change Collective is about more than just financial contributions—it's about leveraging collective power to create lasting change. By uniting passionate individuals and organisations from diverse backgrounds, we can pool our resources and expertise to tackle social issues more effectively than ever before.

Whether it's addressing family violence, supporting trauma recovery, or providing safe homes for those in need, every action taken as part of the Change Collective has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of others.

How you can get involved in the Change Collective

More and more Australians are supporting organisations directly engaged in addressing social issues.1 Studies have shown that 78% of individuals believe brands must do more than make money; they should also positively impact society.2

It's clear that there's a growing demand for meaningful social change initiatives.

One of the key strengths of the Change Collective is its ability to deliver tangible benefits beyond traditional philanthropy. From enhanced customer loyalty to boosted employee morale and improved brand reputation, joining the Change Collective offers many advantages.

We invite you to join us in shaping a brighter future for all. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in our communities.

Join us today in driving positive social change. Visit berrystreet.org.au/change or contact Christopher MacLeod, Corporate Relations Manager, to learn more.
