Kindness Cupboard
Take What You Need and Leave What You Can
Have you seen our Kindness Cupboard?
Our Kindness Cupboard is filled with non-perishable foods and hygiene items available for anyone in the community that finds themselves in need. It provides a helping hand to those who require it, but also offers an opportunity for anyone to give back and support their community on the premise of ‘take what you need and leave what you can'.
This initiative was made possible through a collaboration with ProjectKindness and was launched on the 10th of December as part of our 10 Year Anniversary.
The Kindness Cupboard is open and accessible for all, have a look when you're next at The Place. If you would like to leave some non-perishable or hygiene items for those in need you can pop them in the cupboard, in the donations box next to the cupboard or speak to our friendly staff.

Facilitated by People With Disability Australia (PWDA)
The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
