HELPING HANDS is a weekly half-hour television, online and classroom education program with national reach.
We partner with people in Australia who make the world a better place, and focus our attention on making an IMMEDIATE, SHORT-TERM and GENERATIONAL IMPACT for social good.
The stories we tell shape our society. Helping Hands provides mainstream media exposure to enable our partners to tell their stories and make a positive difference.
We build bridges of knowledge, understanding and empowerment over inequality, fairness and injustice across eight Social Impact Areas.
These Social Impact Areas provide a framework for partnerships, the stories we tell, and panel discussion topics we discuss.
We provide national television exposure and marketing collateral for impact-makers and game-changers, including:
The documentaries are brand-funded, and all collateral can be used by partners for marketing and publicity, fundraising, brand awareness, and for exposure to new audiences.
We also facilitate conversations to empower viewers to make a positive impact in their circles of influence.
These are weekly panel discussions with industry experts and leaders in their field discussing social topics to enable and facilitate impact and change.
Panellists include representatives from RUOK?, Paul Ramsay Foundation, Salvation Army, Social Enterprise Australia, Wayside Chapel, Chaplaincy Australia, Australian Defence Force, and many others.
Helping Hands content is adapted into curriculum-aligned education resources that allow us to make an IMMEDIATE, SHORT-TERM and GENERATIONAL IMPACT for social good.
