Charity Partners

As part of our commitment to a decade of philanthropy, we will continue to work alongside and support various charitable partnerships. Here are just some of the incredible local charities that we’ve partnered with over the past year. 

ESDAS

An independent charity providing specialist outreach services, independent domestic violence advisor support, counselling, among others. 

ESDAS was created in partnerships with survivors and the local community in response to the injustice many adult and child survivors experience in having to flee their homes to escape abuse and losing their support networks. ESDAS takes strength- based, needs-led, trauma-informed approach for supporting survivors to build resilience and foster independence.  

Many of our staff, volunteers and trustee team are experts by experience and are driven by the belief that abuse is not and should not be accepted as inevitable.

The Lucy Rayner Foundation

Visit us at thelucyraynerfoundation.com.

On the 5th of May 2012, Jenny Rayner and her family were tragically faced with the impact of mental illness when their daughter Lucy took her own life at the age of 22.

This life-changing event inspired Jenny and her family to being campaigning about the mental health challenges faced by many young adults. The family quickly found that the support and help available to recognise and treat young adults with mental health challenges was woefully inadequate and significantly underfunded.

Jenny also discovered that her passion and tenacity to address these issues was shared by many others. Using her strong business acumen, entrepreneurial skills, and over 30 years of experience in marketing, media and event management, Jenny found herself perfectly positioned to make an impact in raising awareness of this critical problem.

Currently, the Lucy Rayner Foundation offers several different support services for people with mental health challenges, they are actively involved in several projects to help raise awareness of the issue and they run a series of successful fundraising events to support their efforts.
