23.01.2022 Did you know that employment is one of the key factors in reducing the rate of reoffending for people with a criminal record? Reducing reoffending means safer communities, more people contributing to our economy, and less tax payer dollars being spent on incarceration costs. We're running a survey of Australian employers to understand attitudes towards employing people with a record, and to find out what supports/services could assist employers to take these people on into the future. If you're in a key decision making role in your organisation (and no matter how big or small your organisation is), we would love you to complete and share this survey to help us design a solution that benefits everyone. Thank you in advance! Link to survey: https://forms.gle/ezZiSfgGspN8XcnZ7 #socialenterprise #survey #solutions #employmentpathways

22.01.2022 Sustainable practice is often manifested in the small decisions we make as a business - many business cards have a laminate layer that turns them into a non-recyclable product. Erin at Red Pencil Designs worked with me to find recyclable solutions which didn’t compromise on quality and we absolutely love the end result! #sustainability #betterworld #smalldecisionsbigimpact

20.01.2022 We were thrilled to contribute to this article in ProBono News on what our Australian Government can do to recognise and support the social enterprise sector to grow nationally. https://probonoaustralia.com.au//what-social-enterprise-w/

16.01.2022 ‘By their very nature, employment based social enterprises invest in their employees to help manage their complex needs with flexible and tailored support, above and beyond the investment made by mainstream businesses. And, given the goal is usually to transition employees into mainstream jobs, recruiting and training of new cohorts is a constant. All this means it takes longer for social enterprises to reach financial sustainability compared to mainstream enterprises and w...hy it’s so important for philanthropic organisations to help bridge the funding gap until they achieve scale.’ https://www.westpac.com.au//why-social-job-gains-mean-so-/ #socialenterprise #employmentpathways #future #solutions #inclusion

15.01.2022 Whether we like it or not, the road to sustainable programs and enterprises often requires a financial kickstart, and grants can help to get things moving - but we know all too well how time consuming grant applications are to write!
