2030 Strategy
to double our impact over the next five years.
As we look towards 2030, we have identified opportunities (and of course set ourselves some big challenges) to drive even greater impact to improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness and hardship. We hope to build a future where we not only improve the wellbeing of those who engage with us, but contribute to stronger and more resilient communities.
Orange Sky exists to support Australians doing it tough – whether that’s facing homelessness, financial hardship, social isolation, limited access to basic amenities, or displacement after a disaster.
We show up when it matters most, providing free laundry, warm showers, and genuine connection through friendly conversations with our volunteers.
Our ambition is bolder than ever: to double our impact by 2030.
Since day one, our mission has been simple – to positively connect communities through clean laundry, warm showers, and genuine, non-judgemental conversations.
We are working towards a future where everyone has access to basic hygiene services and meaningful human connection – vital support for whatever challenges they face.
Our 2030 Strategy is the roadmap to that future. It’s shaped by listening deeply to people with lived experience, strengthening the communities we serve, and expanding our support for Australians experiencing – or at risk of – homelessness and hardship.
At Orange Sky, listening is at the heart of everything we do – but real impact comes when we turn those insights into action.
Through deep engagement and culturally-appropriate feedback mechanisms, we aim to ensure the voices of our communities shape our services and strategic choices.
By amplifying the voices of the friends, residents and whanau who engage with our service, we strive to create meaningful change for a future where everyone has the support they deserve.
Orange Sky is committed to reaching more people experiencing homelessness and hardship through expanded, innovative, and accessible services.
We are deepening our presence in at-risk communities, enhancing remote health support, and pioneering education programs that will bring lasting change.
At the heart of our strategy is connection – strengthening partnerships and forging collaborations to build a more resilient, supportive and inclusive future for our communities.
With Orange Sky’s new headquarters secured in 2024, the next five years will be about building on this strategic decision to secure our future and showing up for those who need us most.
We will continue to invest in understanding our audiences’ needs, engaging in authentic storytelling and tailored communications to create meaningful experiences that foster long-term support.
By scaling self-generating income and adopting new and innovative funding models, we hope to reduce the reliance on external sources to secure long-term sustainability.
Our people strategy will focus on empowering a united, future-ready team to create meaningful impact together. By fostering an inclusive culture across the organisation, we are building a community where every person feels part of something bigger.
We will equip our team with the resources, skills, and support to succeed while inspiring creativity, innovation and action. Through diversity, cultural understanding and forward-thinking practices, we will ensure that Orange Sky is a place where people choose to join, stay, grow, and thrive.
