As a worker in the homeless field with past life experience of being homeless as a teenager, I know how much it means to oneself to be able to clean your teeth when not privileged to showering facilities. It makes you feel at least half human.

Mouthwash added to our Free Fill-a-bag program
It has been amazing to be able to help those in community who are struggling with a disability or who are raising children with disabilities. With our fill-a-bag program we have been able to assist more people within our community. Giving our free mouthwash etc has really driven the traffic to our space and people know where to go if they are in need.
Good360 Helps Launch The Everyday Table – Kiama
“Seeing people’s faces light up as they discovered the complimentary area was incredible. The LEGO and books brought so much joy, and the Go-To products really met a practical need. It reminded us why The Everyday Table exists — community, dignity, and connection.” — Volunteer
Dominoes for the Elderly
Wendy lead this game with our seniors.
Mr F. who lives alone, strived on one to one interactions and this dominos game gave him the opportunity to join our staff member at playing it.
he was putting effort in counting the dots, handling the pieces and playing the game.
he showed real interest and said i am so happy i can remember counting.
the staff member fed back that this game not only promoted cognitive skills, but helped with social skills too and motor skills though some seniors struggles with holding the pieces at times due to arthritis
A Wonderful Distraction
Today, my hospital school teachers at Bankstown Hospital School gave me gift. I received two Treehouse books that I can also share with my brother. I was also lucky enough to receive a Lego Ninjago. My eyes lit up as soon as I saw it! I built my Lego while sitting in my hospital bed, following the instruction booklet. I want to deconstruct it before I go home so I can rebuild it with my younger brother.

Keeping it clean
With the current spread of Covid and Influenza in our small community, this great hand sanitiser has assisted the community to slow the spread in infectious diseases. The staff at Coonamble Neighbourhood Centre have said that “the Community has greatly appreciated.
The free hand sanitiser, as the cost of living is having a very big impact on Community”

Little Bricks, Big Connections
When my son opened the LEGO set from HIPPY, his eyes lit up. We don’t often get brand-new toys, so this was really special. Building together gave us quiet time to talk, laugh, and learn side by side. It’s more than a toy – it’s a memory we’ll treasure.

Building Brighter Futures—One Brick at a Time
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Good360 and their partnership with LEGO, our small school has been able to launch a weekly Friday LEGO Club that has transformed lunchtimes into a hub of creativity, connection, and joy.
What began as a simple idea—to offer something engaging and hands-on for students—has grown into one of the most anticipated parts of the week. Students eagerly gather each Friday, brimming with excitement, ready to build, collaborate, and explore their imaginations through LEGO. From elaborate castles and imaginative vehicles to intricate mazes and story worlds, our students are not just playing—they’re learning, problem-solving, and growing.
The LEGO Club has had a profound ripple effect across our school. Students who were previously shy or reluctant to participate are now stepping forward, finding common ground with peers, and developing friendships that extend beyond the club. The safe, welcoming environment has improved social skills, increased confidence, and fostered a sense of belonging. Communication among students has flourished, with teamwork and turn-taking naturally embedded into every build session.
Most notably, this initiative has sparked a noticeable improvement in student engagement and wellbeing. We’ve seen a resurgence of enthusiasm in students who were previously disengaged or struggling with attendance. Now, they come to school with smiles, eager to earn their way into the club or draw prizes through positive behaviour. They are more motivated to follow instructions, demonstrate kindness, and contribute positively to our school environment.
This success has inspired us to dream bigger. We are now seeking further support from Good360 to help reinvigorate and grow our Positive Behaviour for Success Program—a vital initiative that rewards students for making good choices and demonstrating our core values. Traditionally, our weekly prize draws have been supported by our hardworking P&C, but as a small school with limited resources, sustaining this has become a challenge.
With ongoing support, we hope to expand our LEGO and social clubs, providing more structured opportunities for students to engage in positive, collaborative play. The simple gift of LEGO has already made a lasting impact—it has brought joy, inspired creativity, and helped us build a stronger, more connected school community.
At its heart, this is more than a story about toys. It’s a story about possibilities, partnerships, and the power of play to change lives. Thank you, Good360 and LEGO, for helping us build a school culture where every child feels excited to learn, valued, and ready to succeed.

“Fridays are the best now because we get to build cool things with our friends. I didn’t know I was good at LEGO until I tried—and now I want to be an engineer when I grow up!”
