Your impact

How your support has helped

Aruma is a not-for-profit, for-purpose organisation committed to helping all people with a disability live a great life. It’s the reason we exist.

Last year, a total of 6,000 generous people donated more than an incredible $1.5m.

Because of you, we were able to deliver additional services for the people we support. Here are some examples of how your donations supported people to live their best lives:

• COVID-safe training sessions for Supported Employees, giving them confidence and skills in the workplace
• Tools and machinery for our businesses, where over 500 people with a disability work
• Cleaning products, hand sanitiser, and personal protective equipment (PPE), to keep our living and working areas safe for people with a disability
• An upgrade to our Early Childhood Intervention facilities in Burleigh Heads, Qld, and Lismore, NSW
• An extended soccer program in the Hunter for kids with disability aged 7–13
• And of course much, much more.

Where we still need your support

We greatly value your commitment to helping people with a disability live a great life and your future generous donations will go towards:

• Access to sensory rooms and specialist therapy equipment to calm, focus, and aid anxiety
• Critical COVID-19 safety equipment like masks, thermometers, gloves, and hand sanitiser
• Further boosting supported employment opportunities
• Creating health and social programs for families of children with a disability
• Providing additional training to build workplace skills for school-leavers
• Giving people with a disability a place to call home in supported accommodation.
