Project Description

2015: Hanover Crisis Centre Care Packs and Renovation

Hanover is an independent community agency, providing a range of services to Victorians experiencing housing crisis or homelessness. Their services include crisis, medium and long-term accommodation, and support, education, training and employment solutions.

Starter Packs – for new beginnings

On Saturday 12th September, the Project 7 team worked with Hanover House in Southbank, Melbourne to renovate two rooms including
an IT room, and to procure goods and assemble 100 much needed Home Support / Starter Packs.

The starter packs included; bath towel sets, sheet sets, pillows, tea towels, glasses, mugs, crockery, cutlery, frying pans, saucepans, cooking utensils, toasters, kettles and knife blocks.

Volunteers – Donating valuable time to help others

The packs assembled on the day included necessities for the home for people transitioning from homelessness, through temporary accommodation at Hanover House, to their own home. Great work from fantastic people for a worthwhile cause.

PERSONAL

In selecting an organisation, we look to candidates such as registered charities, not-for-profits or community groups that may have limited funding and there is a genuine need of help. We aim to make a demonstrable difference, not through directly donating money, but through our employees’ commitment, hard work, and willingness to give up their personal time.

LOCAL FOCUS

Previously, Seven has been involved in overseas Projects, however, as our team has grown we made the decision to focus Project 7 locally. This maximised our team’s ability to contribute to the project in a hands on manner, but they could also continue to see positive outcomes, or be affiliated with the organisation beyond completion of the project.

ORGANISATION

In the lead up to each Project, an abundance of time and effort is necessary to ensure everything runs smoothly. This involves a Project Committee who oversee the selection of the organisation, staff communication, allocation of budgets, planning timelines of events, organising tradespeople and deliveries of goods required, and rosters for volunteers when the project is carried out.

NEED HELP?

Seven is proud of the work our team has achieved so far with Project 7, and look forward to continuing to work with worthy cases in the future. If you are an organisation that is interested in working with Seven Consulting for future Project’s, we would love to hear from you.
