Who is pitching?

Liverpool Neighbourhood Connections – Pat Hall, CEO. Pioneering social enterprise programs that provide strong employment pathways for women in Western Sydney and breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Pitching for support for traineeships, so more women can experience the joy and pride as they become a role model for their children.

Whitelion – Sharon Everson, NSW State Manager. Passionate and achieving incredible results in re-engaging at-risk youth with their education following suspension or expulsion. Seeking to help young people overcome barriers to learning, so they can finish school and gain a brighter future.

Fairfield Parents Cafe Inc. – Haitham Jaju, Managerwith Sydney Women’s Fund – Caroline Fonda, Engagement Coordinator. Haitham is dedicated to helping refugee’s and migrants thrive as they call Sydney home. Together, they’re seeking to empower women through an innovative ‘job readiness’ collaboration, paving new pathways to employment through mentoring, industry insight and work experience.

How it works?

Each project will pitch ‘live’ on stage in six-minute segments, and then answer questions.

Following this is an exciting live-pledging session, based on a popular format from the UK.

It will be a highly engaging and memorable experience for everyone involved and is sure to stay with you long after.

Refreshments and canapes will be served before
and after the event.
