October Charity Highlight: RizeUp Australia

RizeUp Australia is a national organisation working in partnership with domestic violence agencies to provide life-changing, practical support for families affected by domestic and family violence - giving them the hope, empowerment, and ability to move on to a life free from violence.

One in four women in Australia will experience domestic or family violence in their lifetime. For many, the hardest part isn't leaving - it's what comes next. RizeUp exists to bridge that gap. Recognised as a ground-breaking and integral part of the recovery journey, RizeUp partners with peak support services across the country to enhance the options available to families at their most vulnerable moments. They help give a voice to those who don't feel they can speak up, driven by a passionate team who pour enormous amounts of their time and heart into the families in our community who need it most.

The organisation provides:

🧡 Practical home setup support — coordinating and fitting out homes so families can start fresh with dignity

🧡 Donated essentials — furniture, household goods and electrical items that turn an empty house into a home

🧡 Community awareness — driving honest conversations that challenge the behaviours and attitudes that allow family violence to thrive

🧡 Volunteer-powered programs — including school holiday programs and community events that support families in rebuilding their lives

A portion of every purchase made with us in October will go directly towards supporting the vital work of RizeUp Australia and the families finding the courage to start over.

As our community grows, so does our ability to stand beside those who need it most. Because everyone deserves a safe place to call home. 🧡
