The year following Nedd Brockmann’s triumphant finish has proven to be nothing short of extraordinary for We Are Mobilise.
As we reflect on this milestone year, we recognise what many of you were wondering, “What will We Are Mobilise do with the funds from Nedd’s run?”
After Nedd’s campaign, our initial consideration gravitated towards redefining our next steps. Our foremost priority was to channel the funds directly to those who need it most and adopt a scalable approach to deliver impact for years to come.
This vision has now materialised through our recently launched Direct Giving programs: Matched, Kickstarter, and Pay.
Our feature program, Mobilise Matched, empowers participants through employment opportunities and matched savings, which could boost their savings by up to $10,000.
One participant captured the essence of our innovative programs, stating, “I couldn’t believe a program like Matched existed when I first heard about it.”
Our outreach programs, the backbone of the Mobilise movement since its inception, have seen unprecedented growth this year, encompassing an impressive number of outreach events across four states. We more than doubled our 2022 numbers across the board!
In tandem with our impactful initiatives, 2023 has witnessed substantial organisational growth. We stand today as a transformed entity compared to the beginning of the year, boasting a new Board of Directors and a dedicated team of both paid and volunteer staff. Each member has played a pivotal role in bringing our dreams to fruition.
Our deepened partnerships with incredible allies, exemplified by Bursty, Youth Projects, and GoFundMe have been a cornerstone of our success. These collaborations are the lifeblood of the Mobilise mission, and we eagerly anticipate fostering these connections in 2024 and beyond.
Despite monumental growth, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the future. Nedd Brockmann has already set the stage for a more extensive and impactful campaign in 2024, and we eagerly anticipate learning what he has in store for us all.
As we look ahead to the upcoming year, we extend heartfelt cheers, with a bottle of Nedd’s Milk, of course, and wish you all a Merry Christmas.
We express our sincere gratitude for the trust you’ve bestowed upon us. Rest assured, we are poised to make you proud and continue positively impacting the lives of those facing homelessness across Australia.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey, and have a great break.
