As a society we recognise that people need food and shelter. We often don’t realise that people also need basic clothing. Many Australians don’t have access to a warm winter jumper, comfortable waterproof shoes or even a clean pair of underwear.  Thread Together is the only organisation in Australia whose main mission and focus is to source new and excess clothing from partnering fashion retailers and redistribute items to those in our communities that need it most. 

For just a $5 donation, Thread Together is able too provide a new wardrobe to someone in need!

The Social Studio is a safe place of belonging that strives to create awareness and change public perceptions for people who have experienced being a refugee.  They operate as a non-profit Incorporated Association, which is managed by a Board of Management elected by the membership. The Board is composed of design and business professionals, media and communications experts, community development workers and community leaders from refugee communities in Melbourne.  All income generated through the Studio is invested in creating social benefits for its students, staff and their communities. They measure this through education and employment outcomes, environmental benefits and social inclusion.
