Different organisations, same goal.

Over the last year, the Hamilton Centre has booked The Little Social Catering for their events and gatherings, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

The Hamilton Centre connects Victorian mental health and addiction services to help people get the support they need, while Youth Projects supports young people in our community. Different paths, same purpose. We're both committed to making a positive impact, and together we can reach more people. We’re looking forward to continuing this partnership and seeing what we can build next.

Thank you, Hamilton Centre, for making your events count too. 💚

Whether you’re planning a team lunch, a Christmas party or an end-of-year get-together, we’d love to help make it extra special.

And while you’re enjoying the food, you’ll also be supporting opportunities for young people through hospitality training and employment ❤️

Michael’s journey with Youth Projects started at our Werribee Hub, where his Youth Coach Brent supported him to take his first steps towards employment.

From Transition to Work, to Chop4Change, and then Here4Hospitality, Michael built new skills, explored hospitality and worked towards his goal of becoming a barista ☕️

Along the way, he gained a better understanding of working in a café and the confidence to take on future opportunities.

Looking for work or want to build your skills? Youth Projects is here to help.

DM us for more info and take your next step! ✨

So proud to be part of the Footscray community. To have supervisors like Vicki, regulars like Craig and Sharon, and people who genuinely love this space as much as we do. A Social Enterprise isn’t just a business model, it’s the community we build together, where everyone gets what we’re here for and why believing in it together actually matters.
 
“You’re missing out if you haven’t been here. Best coffee, best atmosphere, right on the edge, sun on your face.” That’s our Footscray customer talking, not us.
 
Come see what everyone’s talking about. 💚

We are a Social Enterprise that works every day, convinced that our mission can change lives and give others a moment of comfort. Today, on R U OK? Day, we want to take a moment to reflect on that.

We have seen it in our customers who laugh with us, the young people who join our programs without judgement, and the team that shows up every day to grow our impact.

That is exactly why this mission matters, because we know the world can sometimes feel overwhelming, and all of us are going through different personal journeys.

That is just how life is.

So we invite you to ask your colleagues, friends, customers, clients, family, and yourself, R U OK? Not just today, any day.

Because showing up for your community can be as simple as asking someone how they are really feeling.

If you need support or want resources to help you have these conversations, you can visit ruok.org.au or reach out to Lifeline on 13 11 14, any time.

This month we asked some of our regulars, Craig, Sharon, Mae and Kerry, one question: what advice would you have wanted to hear when you were young?

Trust yourself. Take the opportunities. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Keep doing you.

For us, community is everyone. The young people we support, the customers who show up every morning, the partners who believe in what we do. We’re all in this together, and sometimes the most powerful thing we can share is a little bit of lived experience.

The Lifeblood community has shown us what it really means to support a Social Enterprise.

Whether they’re grabbing their morning coffee, cheering on our Here4Hospitality trainees, or booking our catering for their next meeting, they choose us every single day. And that means everything 💚.

That’s something we never take for granted. We pour care into everything we do, from the coffee we serve to the trainees we support.

We call that community 🫶🏼.

We’re really proud of the community we’re building at our Footscray café, so we asked Vicki, our Café Supervisor, to sit down with some of our regulars and hear what they think about The Little Social.

First up: Mae, one of our regular customers and an Occupational Therapist at Footscray Hospital.

Mae started coming to The Little Social earlier this year and, as she says, it’s not just the good coffee, pastries and relaxed vibe that keeps her coming back.

She also loves knowing that her coffee is doing a little bit of good for the community.

“Everyone’s buying a coffee every day. Most people do. So if you can change that little habit to do good in the world, then why not?”

We couldn’t agree more.

You can come for the coffee, but we might convince you to come back for everything else.

Choose businesses that do good. Like us. 💚

Five years at The Alfred, and our team still shows up every morning with the same energy, the same care, and the same passion for what they do.

Along the way, something beautiful happened. The people who came in for a coffee became regulars. The regulars became familiar faces. And the familiar faces became part of our community.

A double espresso for Frank. A lactose-free latte for James. A chamomile tea for Maria. A skinny hot chocolate for Tiarna.

Knowing your order is the easy part. What really matters is that you keep coming back.

Thank you for five years of showing up for us. 💚

This is what a social enterprise looks like. And we’re proudly certified by Social Traders Australia , and we think it’s worth taking a moment to talk about what that actually means.

It means our business model has been independently verified to deliver real social impact. Not just in what we say, but in everything we do, from how we run our cafés and catering, to where our profits go, to the young people we work with every day.

There are over 12,000 social enterprises in Australia. We’re proud to be one of them, and even prouder of the team that makes it happen 💚
