19.01.2022 This morning many Wyatt staff participated in the Walk a Mile in My Boots challenge run by The Hutt Street Centre.

Well done to Hutt Street Centre for organising this walk & all who participated and raised funds for this important cause #letsendhomelessness

19.01.2022 Excited to be at the Hen House Open Night hearing some great pitches from some amazing ’clutches’

17.01.2022 Homelessness Week 2020 kicks off Monday 3 August. See below for Don Dunstan Foundation's curated selection of articles, videos and events focused on this critical social issue:

16.01.2022 $40 a day is not enough to let people live in dignity. Stories from amazing projects such as 550 Reasons to Smile show just how much the temporary raises of inc...ome support programs have changed lives. A higher rate of income support means less skipped meals, more warm clothes for winter and in some cases, being able to buy vital medications. This should be the bare minimum for every person in our community - regardless of their employment status. Join us in calling on the Australian Government to #RaisetheRateforGood sign the statement and join the day of action on Tuesday 14 July. Find out more: https://raisetherate.org.au

16.01.2022 Starting on 8 November 2020, NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

16.01.2022 This is a must see! Australians living on Newstart are being left with less than $100 a week after rent and often don't have enough money for food. It is way past time that we raised Newstart Allowance!

16.01.2022 Scholarship alert! Don Dunstan Foundation's Len King Scholarship assists students with a passion for social justice who, for financial reasons, would not otherwise be able to attend university to fulfil their dream of studying law. Applications are closing soon!

16.01.2022 Getting the word out for this great initiative to get kids involved in philanthropy. Come and cook for a cause!

These meals will then be donated to the HAS Foundation. B...ut don’t worry, you will be able to sample the food you prepare, and a light lunch is also included. These classes are designed so that you can have a fun, hands-on cooking experience while exploring the gift of giving homemade meals to those in need. This event is suitable for 8+ years of age.

16.01.2022 Let’s raise the rate for good!

14.01.2022 Today is National Sorry Day, it is held on 26 May each year to acknowledge and recognise the many members of the Stolen Generations. A significant day in Australia, especially so for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. Today is the day that marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling in Federal Parliament of the Bringing Them Home Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families. W...yatt pays our deep respects and thoughts to the many thousands of First Nations people affected by forcible removal from family. Here, five indigenous teenagers talk about what Sorry Day means to them. https://www.abc.net.au//national-sorry-day-from-/12283140

05.01.2022 One in six young people in Australia have experienced homelessness, including Dana (pictured here). At 16, she turned to Junction House. That’s when I realise...d how capable I really was. I could live independently and do it well. I could be the best person I want to be as long as I put my mind to it. Read Dana’s story here: https://junctionaustralia.org.au//tough-love-a-turning-poi #HW2020

04.01.2022 As South Australia prepares for our 'circuit-breaker' from 12am, we think of all of the individuals and families this will hit hardest. Wyatt is open for business. It may take a little longer for us to get back to you, but we will continue to provide grants to those in need.

04.01.2022 Like all South Australians, at The Wyatt Trust our thoughts have been with the bushfire impacted communities here and across the country. We know that while the immediate threat is past for some areas, and other communities remain at risk, the road to recovery will be long and requires sustained support and energy. There have been many announcements of funding and relief measures for those impacted by the bushfires and these are welcomed. As individual’s and community’s immed...iate emergency needs are met, The Wyatt Trust is considering how we can best meet the medium to longer-term needs of those South Australians who are rebuilding after this disaster. With a legacy of over 130 years, The Wyatt Trust understands the challenges people face. In response to the recent bushfires we will walk with our fellow community members to offer our support where we can to rebuild hope and livelihoods. Please check our website for future updates on our bushfire response.
