Every week Milk Crate Theatre creates opportunities for people with an experience of homelessness or social disadvantage to build confidence, skills and social connections: to make positive life changes. 

Milk Crate has… enabled me to rebuild and find joy in my life.

Over the last four years, with your investment and support, Milk Crate Theatre has worked with over 600 people with a lived experience of homelessness.  Of these, 80 per cent have reported positive changes and outcomes from our programs – especially around confidence and wellbeing.  

Your support allows us to increase our impact, extend our reach and to make new creative projects with our communities.

Here are some examples of how your contribution supports our work:

• $500 supports our regular creative workshops. Every week people come to our workshop hubs in inner Sydney and Parramatta where they are encouraged to learn new skills, make friends, and rebuild their confidence. 
• $1000 provides a mentorship for someone who has gone through our workshops and now wants to give back to their community, by learning how to lead and support others in their creative development.   This is also a pathway to opportunities to earn an income based on what they have learnt through Milk Crate Theatre programs.
• $5,000 allows us to establish new workshop programs for women and girls at risk of homelessness and social disadvantage.  This includes women impacted by domestic violence or older women experiencing social and financial disadvantage.
• $10,000 supports the creation of new performances and films. Professional artists facilitate projects where participants are encouraged to contribute ideas, share stories, and engage in creative expression within a safe and supported environment.
