We're on a Podcast!
Rick was recently over on the 'Pressing On' podcast taking about mental health and the experiences he's worked through that lead to founding Worthy Cause. It's a great listen if you're interested in topics on mental health, starting up a non-profit or if you want to know more about the people behind Worthy Cause

Worthy Cause Bake-a-thon
Last year we sold over 3500 cookies and funded over 500 program hours for charity with our Bake-a-Thon. Help us beat our target again this year!
The Bake-a-Thon is a fundraising event where teams are invited into a commercial kitchen to bake as many cookies as possible during our weekend-long bake sale where we'll be setting up a store-front selling cookies, holding giveaways and featuring local businesses who've joined the cause!
We're looking for 8 teams of 4 people to join again next year February. Each team participates in fundraising challenges leading up to the bake sale where we'll be baking and selling cookies over a 4 hour session for each team.
If you have a team or are trying to form one - make sure to fill out the form below to express your interest and lets bake a difference together!
Sponsorships
We're also opening up corporate sponsorships for the Bake-a-Thon! We have limited spots available across a number of sponsorship tiers which include a feature in our marketing, exclusive logo placements and of course being able to uphold good corporate citizenship by contributing to a Worthy Cause
Victoria Parliament Market Stall
This month we had the opportunity to hold a market stall at the Victoria Parliament.
While politics isn't everyone's cup of tea - we're really grateful for the chance to speak to some of our local party members about our cause and how to best help the community.
We've begun discussions with a few departments on how government interest and insight can help not just Worthy Cause but social enterprises at large so we're eager to see if anything comes about that could benefit everyone!
Team Building
Team Building Day with Alsco
Worthy Cause recently had a joint team building day with Alsco Uniforms who provide all the tea towels, aprons and floormats for our cafes!
They really are such an amazing help and getting into the kitchen together to make some cookies was honestly such a blast.
Team Building Opportunities
Speaking of team bonding - it your workplace has been hounding you for team activity suggestions and you'd like to get in the Worthy Cause kitchen yourself then we have some exciting opportunities.
Our team day program puts your team in our kitchen with the perfect blend of teamwork, creativity and a sweet reward to finish the day off.
We have limited spots available! You can find out more or enquire by emailing rick@worthycause.org.au
