A Model for Social Change

Our Mission

Community Mates aims simply to bring people, businesses and charities together.

Key Principles:

l Bring groups of people together who already know each other, be they friends, colleagues or family (ie engage with an individual – Community Champion or Corporate Champion – and have them source their peers for an event)

l Have people donate their time, not funds

l Have no ongoing requirement from volunteers, each event is stand alone and discrete

l Have no requirement for pre training or the like, each event is the volunteer’s only donation of time

and anxiety at the A League Beyond Blue Cup

Why?

We believe that we don’t just live in our community, we create it.

We believe that by donating one’s time without expectation for something in return, one can cultivate empathy, and that when the two are combined with scale and scope deep and lasting social change can be made.

By spreading the word we connect with mates, with

colleagues, with businesses who want to do something

good in the community

Community Mates Byron Bay recently got together to sell raffle tickets throughout the Byron Bay Surf Festival - and

raised over $1500 for the Disabled Surfers Association of Australia and Surfers For

Cetaceans (S4C).

Community Mates must aim to maintain a low risk profile and its secularity so as to not isolate or discourage potential new stakeholders, be they community organisations or participants

Disabled SurfersThe Disabled Surfers Association was

established in 1986 Many surfers with

disabilities have unfortunately, been

loners with no one to help them get

back into the water.

Many suffer from disabilities that the

general public would not consider

a disability. From asthmatics to joint

injuries to paraplegic, many members

have found friendship, support and have

renewed their interest in surfing.
