About this organisation
Summary of activities
Our mission is to provide holistic care to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, vulnerable youth who have disconnected or at risk of becoming disconnected and provide emergency relief (in many forms) to those in need. 2024 was a big year. This year we have provided 2842 safe bed nights off the street and have housed 37 individuals and families who were unhoused. These clients stay in our crisis housing until they can enter more permanent accommodation. Due to the horrid homelessness crisis it has been a busy but rewarding year. For young people we have provided 414 hours of case management support, provided13 individuals with new development plans, hosted 3 major community youth events, provided 3 driving lessons 38 times leading to 6 drivers licenses for vulnerable youth. Provided 17 individual free school holiday programs ranging from art classes to bus rides to Time Zone and a silent disco. We have assisted 139 individuals with emergency relief (ER). This relief is made up of Personal Hygiene and dignity items, Dr visits, prescriptions, transport assistance and food and fuel vouchers. We host a monthly free community meal as part of ER and run a very popular Adopt a Family program at Christmas Time to enable struggling individuals and families to enjoy Christmas food and presents. This year we delivered 114 hampers provided by our wonderful Moranbah community. Our sponsored emergency food program provided 3703 sandwiches and thousands more snacks and pieces of fruit to schools for children who would otherwise go to classes without breakfast or lunches. As well as providing 1729 frozen meals to clients, our free pantry was stocked 46 times with essential non-perishable items. 212 click and collect perishable orders were made to complement pantry items. As an agency we have provided 312 one on one support hours to Centrelink Clients and assisted 687 clients from General Enquires to Centrelink Silver Service. Our Centrelink agency staff go above and beyond every day and also provide Centrelink support for Medicare, My Gov, Pensions and Child Support questions.

Finances
What is this?
This graph shows how much revenue (money in) and expenses (money out) the charity has had each year over the last few years. Charities have many sources of revenue, such as donations, government grants, and services they sell to the public. Similarly, expenses are everything that allows the charity to run, from paying staff to rent.
What should I be looking for?
First off, this graph gives a general indication of how big the charity is - charities range in size from tiny (budgets of less than $100,000) to enormous (budgets more than $100 million). You're also looking for variability - if the charity's revenue and expenses are jumping up and down from year to year, make sure there's a good reason for it.
Unlike companies, charities and not-for-profits aren't on a mission to make money. However, if they spend more than they receive, eventually they will go into too much debt and run into trouble. As a very general rule, you want revenue to be slightly above expenses. If expenses is reliably above revenue, the charity is losing money. If revenue is much larger than expenses, it means the charity might not be using its resources effectively. It isn't always that simple, however, and there's a lot of reasons a charity might not follow this pattern. They might be saving up for a big purchase or campaign, or they might have made a big one-off payment. If you're worried, always look at the annual and financial reports to understand why the charity is making the decisions it is.
What is this?
If a charity receives more money than it spends, that's a surplus (in business, it would be called profit). If it spends more than it receives, that's a deficit. This chart shows surpluses and deficits for the charity over the last few years.
What should I be looking for?
Unlike companies, charities and not-for-profits aren't on a mission to make money. However, if they spend more than they receive, eventually they will go into too much debt and run into trouble. As a very general rule, you want a charity to make a small surplus on average. A deficit means that charity lost money that year, which may indicate poor financial management or just a series of bad circumstances. If the charity always has a huge surplus, it means the charity might not be using its resources effectively. It isn't always that simple, however, and there's a lot of reasons a charity might not follow this pattern. They might be saving up for a big purchase or campaign, or they might have made a big one-off payment. If you're worried, always look at the annual and financial reports to understand why the charity is making the decisions it is.
What is this?
This chart compares the amount the charity receives from various sources, including donations (i.e. money given by the general public or philanthropy), goods and services, government grants, and other sources.
What should I be looking for?
Donations are an important source of revenue for some charities. Others rely more heavily on government funding, or on revenue from other sources. This is an indication of how much they need donors to accomplish their mission. Note that there is no 'good' or 'bad' amount of donations for a charity to have. It might be interesting to look at values over time - are they going up or down? A charity that gets less donations every year may be in trouble.
What is this?
Assets are things that the charity owns that are worth something. This could be anything from a car to investments. Similarly, liabilities are debts or obligations that the charity owes to someone else, like a loan or an agreement to pay for something.
What should I be looking for?
Firstly, in general a charity should have more assets than liabilities. If it doesn't, it implies that the charity might not be able to pay its debts, and you should look very closely at the charity's annual and financial reports to make sure they are taking steps to remedy this. Current assets should generally be above current liabilities - that means the charity can easily pay off the debts that are coming due soon. Beyond that, look for a large stockpile of assets. While a charity should have enough assets to keep it afloat in hard times (a 'buffer') if that stockpile gets too large the charity could be using that money more effectively. As always, if you have concerns check the annual and financial reports.
