Belay partners with Mission Australia

The Belay Advisory team had the privilege of partnering with Mission Australia to deliver a special Christmas celebration for the residents and staff of Common Ground Sydney in Camperdown.

Common Ground Sydney is a remarkable housing initiative led by Mission Australia Housing, providing high quality affordable and supported housing. This initiative serves individuals on low to moderate incomes, including those transitioning from long-term homelessness. The housing is conveniently located near the city, with support services provided by Camperdown Support Services.

Our day was filled with meaningful moments:

  • Tidying the gardens and assisting with preparing food
  • Decorating the space with festive touches and setting up tables for the celebration
  • Writing personalised Christmas cards for every resident
  • Assembling gift bags, distributing hampers, giving out raffle tickets for the lucky door prizes, and helping with take-home food plates
  • Serving and sharing lunch with residents and staff, creating connections over good food and conversation
  • Coming together as a team to ensure the event ran smoothly from start to finish

We’re incredibly inspired by Mission Australia’s commitment to building stronger communities and providing vital support to those in need. It was an honour to contribute to their mission and help create a memorable day for the Common Ground Sydney community.

At Belay Advisory, we believe in giving back, and this experience reminded us of the importance of compassion, connection, and community.

Thank you to Mission Australia for allowing us to take part and we hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
