Donate to make a Difference

Thank you for considering a donation.

Whether you are a caring, community-minded person who wants to help, or a big corporation with similar ideals, there are several ways to donate to Branches Lifestyle Support.

Make a one-off contribution
Become a regular giver

As a regular giver, your chosen donation amount is automatically gifted from your credit card on the date and regular interval you nominate – weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. This reduces our administration costs meaning a higher percentage of your support reaches those who need it most. Donations are secure and can be changed, paused or cancelled at any time.

A big thank you to Manly and Wynnum RE/MAX and Think Tank Architects, along with the members of the local community, who have supported us to get this far.

We also acknowledge A.R.A.D. (Aid and Recreation Association for the Disabled), and their very generous donation, which has us well on our way to establishing our HUB.

A.R.A.D. closed their doors in 2020 after 50 years as a unique service catering to people with a disability in the Wynnum area. Through this donation, the spirit of their work endures, and the local community continues to benefit from their years of service.

What we need to make it happen

Donating to the HUB

Our Community Hub opened on the 6th March 2021. Not only is it used for day programs for our clients with disabilities, but we also make it available to community groups and organisations at a very minimal cost. This was always our aim – to have a much-needed general space where ourselves and other charitable and service-based groups can gather.

Since opening, we have managed to outfit the Hub with some amazing facilities. These include a large kitchen that can be used for vocational training, full audio-visual capabilities with a big screen and projector, and conversational seating areas. We have also installed a disability-friendly bathroom. In addition our Branches Lifestyle Support offices are also now based right next door.

All of this has only been made possible due to the amazing donations and generosity from many different groups and individuals.

Now it is time to turn our focus to completing our Garden, which is at the rear of the property. We already have 8 small garden beds that are maintained by our people, a shed for our “Tool Time” program, a water tank, and an undercover entertaining area. Our plan is to enhance this area, and just like with the Hub, make it available to the wider public. We would like to add another 12 garden beds, more furniture, screening across the entertainment area, a greenhouse, new fencing, build a BBQ and pizza oven, and install some horticultural shade sails.

The projected cost for this is $23,500, and this is our new donation goal. This will be an extremely worthwhile endeavour that will benefit not just our client group but all in the area. We greatly appreciate any generosity anyone may be able to offer. Thank you.
