Every book, pen, and laptop opens the door to brighter opportunities.
Mums and Bubs Cultural Group
“Running this group has allowed me to build trusted relationships with mums in a culturally safe and relaxed environment. The conversations we have each session help identify any concerns early, provide education when it’s needed, and connect families with the right support. It’s wonderful to see the mums grow in confidence, support one another, and know they have a community around them.” – Sarah, Midwife
Learning with electric devices
Mike was so happy that we could help his family, as they need specific apps for their young children to help them with school and getting ready for school. Through educational apps that they could download from the internet, they were so excited, happy and grateful.
Inspiring Wellbeing Beyond the Classroom
The mindful activities were really well received by our students and supported them in different ways either through regulation or through providing sensory input. They also prompted positive conversations with our students about mental health and wellbeing, which is so important. Our teachers also commented on how generous the team from JMC were and were really impressed with the positive impacts this had on our students. – Mark Oliphant College Wellbeing Leader
Helping Students Belong
*Mel, the school nurse who we work closely with, told us “Two of the kids you saw today managed to make it to school, despite being homeless and living in a shelter. Live is incredibly difficult for them. Having high quality shoes and warm tracksuits in our cold Tassie weather is a game-changer for them – we can’t thank you enough for making their lives a little easier”
Helping Alex!
Receiving these rugby boots has made a huge difference for Alex. As she is just starting her rugby journey, having the right footwear has helped her build confidence, improve her speed and skills, and fully participate in training and games. We are incredibly grateful for this support.” — Parent of Alex, age 12
Stories supporting home
Turning empty spaces into safe, welcoming places to live. From furniture to bedding, clothing to cups, we help transform houses into true homes.
Bringing Warmth and Comfort to Families and Individuals in Need
Something as simple as a warm blanket can make a real difference to someone’s comfort and wellbeing, especially when they are facing financial difficulties. We are grateful to Good360 for helping us support our community beyond food assistance and provide essential items to those who need them most.
Blankets for the Community This Winter
The blankets have made such a difference for people in our community who was struggling to stay warm during the winter. Being able to provide something as simple as a warm, comfortable blanket reminds people that they are cared for and supported. We are incredibly grateful to Good360 for helping us meet this important need.

Mattress Donations Helped Families Settle into Safe Homes
“The mattress changed something that sounds simple but isn’t. Sleep. Rest. Recovery. After everything we’d been through, it gave me somewhere to land. This morning, I finally had a proper bed and realised I was no longer sleeping on the floor. It was a reminder that we were finally home.” – Single mother
Stories supporting hygiene
Providing dignity, health, and confidence through life’s daily essentials.
Clean hands, washed clothes, and personal care can change someone’s day—and their outlook.
Period Care for the Community
Providing reusable period care packs for the community has been a wonderful initiative. We explained the benefits to the women who received them. These packs are ideal for those looking to switch to reusable options, as they are economical and better for the environment. They also serve as a reliable backup option. Additionally, the colours and designs of the packs were very appealing! Many of the women mentioned that they had been wanting to try reusable products, and this initiative has given them the opportunity to do so.

Nike and Good360 Help Transplant Footballers Take the Next Step
“Playing with the football with other transplant recipients has helped me build my confidence in my physical activity and connect with people who understand my journey. There are plenty of costs involved in training and travelling to compete, so receiving the boots and shin pads was genuinely helpful. More than that, it showed us there are people out there backing our team and what it represents”.
