Our Purpose

Our impact is tangible. As a non-profit organization guided by compassion and understanding, we equip individuals with the tools, guidance, and empathy needed to gain autonomy, unlock their potential, and lead better lives. Our knowledgeable team specializes in supporting people with psychosocial realities who are experiencing homelessness, helping navigate them toward essential services and facilitating effective supports. The United Foundation dedicates its focus on fostering community partnerships to identify gaps in the disability support sector. Where they’re found, we look to create new shapes in their place that help build and promote a more inclusive and equitable world to live in.

Facilitate Access to Essential Services

We provide personalised guidance, resources, and support to individuals from vulnerable and disadvantaged groups seeking access to government services and other relevant resources. We aim to simplify the application process, educate individuals about their rights, and help them navigate the complexities of the system.

Offering Comprehensive Outreach Programs

We develop and execute targeted outreach programs to connect disadvantaged individuals with essential services, including accommodation, healthcare, and employment opportunities. We strive to foster an environment of support and trust, enabling people to rebuild their lives and break the cycle of disadvantage.

Offering Innovative Solutions

We conduct research and develop innovative strategies to address the challenges faced by vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. We aim to create and implement new support mechanisms, models, and technological advancements to improve the lives of these individuals.

vision

Empowering individuals to improve their quality of life and create lasting, positive change.

We face a societal problem of unequal access to essential services and resources, making it difficult for vulnerable communities to break the cycle of disadvantage. United Foundation’s aim is to bridge the gap between these communities and essential services. By working in partnership with various community organisations, we identify new and effective ways of helping people access and connect with the specific services they need. By doing this, we further empower individuals to improve their quality of life and create lasting, positive change. This is what we refer to as creating new shapes in our society
