A VISIONARY LEADER DRIVING CHANGE THROUGH GOOD360

In 2012, Alison discovered Good360USA, a transformative organisation dedicated to rescuing unsold brand-new goods and redistributing them to people in need. Witnessing the tremendous impact of Good360's model, which had connected $7 billion worth of goods to people in need over three decades, Alison was struck by a powerful question: Why didn't Australia have a similar solution?

Driven by this question and inspired by the potential for positive change, Alison embarked on a mission to bring Good360 to Australia. In 2015, Good360 Australia was born, with the aim of reducing both need and waste by giving brand-new goods a first life through connections to vulnerable Australians.

Drawing inspiration from individuals like Grace Wallis, the daughter of her lifelong friend Susan, Alison set an ambitious goal: to gift $1 billion worth of goods to Australians in need. With the support of passionate individuals and businesses, Good360 has made significant strides towards this goal, providing essential items to Australians facing hardship, from toys for family violence shelters to notebooks for schools.

 Alison believes in the power of simplicity and collaboration to drive change. By offering businesses the opportunity to donate spare and excess goods, Good360 creates a Circle of Good where everyone benefits, from individuals to our planet.

 Join us for The Illawarra Connection’s Hargraves Lecture on Tuesday, 15 October as we honour Alison's extraordinary contributions and celebrate the impact of Good360 on communities across Australia.
