This project did not receive enough votes to be successful.

A community hub selling social and ethically sourced products with an additional focus on supporting local producers. 

The hub will be serving food and good Melbourne style coffee to our customers.  

Not only is it providing products for the community it is selling products made by community and offering work and training opportunities to our local underemployed youth.

This is a social enterprise project so any profits from sales go toward social betterment programs for youth in our community. 

We will offer products for the kitchen, personal care, baby care, cleaning and more all sourced from social, ethical traders.

The primary benefit to our community members is economic; a chance to work or sell. Good prices and good service to boot.

More local spending, more accountability, more local resilience, more sensible development, more creativity, more equity, and more participation.

We are keen to “give back” and establish good community ties by creating a social enterprise meaning that profits go back to Ellimatta Youth – benefiting young people from the community. We will use our strengths, once established, to create new services or enterprises to meet the needs of our community.

The secondary benefit is environmentally friendly practice.
