Right now there are individuals suffering, and so we’ve made it our mission to provide “Right Now Relief” (RNR). We are running a number of people-first campaigns providing immediate relief to those suffering — making a meaningful impact where it is needed most: right now.
iLocal™ Campaign
Instead of expecting those doing it tough to know where to find available supports, we are finding it for them and bringing it to their metaphorical doorstep, the streets — helping to overcome digital exclusion and ensuring information reaches people where they are.
In February this year we launched the iLocal™ booklet, a monthly publication designed specifically for those experiencing homelessness. iLocal™ is a practical guide that aims to help those in crisis navigate their immediate environment — acting as a local directory, it informs the reader of support services, available for free, and within walking distance.
Further to providing these individuals with information vital for their survival, iLocal™ includes messages of reassurance and belonging, puzzles and light activities, as well as curated opportunities for free and safe community engagement. More than just a guide, iLocal™ is intended to send a clear message of solidarity — letting people know that they are not alone, that we are here, and in their corner.
This publication is distributed monthly in areas of need, with the help of frontline services like Orange Sky. These booklets are printed professionally by Officeworks, making it possible for them to be kept, shared, and relied upon. Our initial print runs are small and intentional, allowing us to learn, adapt, and continue to grow responsibly.
As LinkedUp™ grows so too will the scope of our campaigns — guided by lived experience, frontline insight, and community collaboration, we will take one step at a time and continue to remind individuals that they are worthy of support, social inclusion and stability.

Outreach Campaigns
Further to the iLocal™ campaign, we are running outreach campaigns as often as possible, walking the streets of Perth’s most affected areas and gifting essentials to those affected — on any given day this could include: cold drinks; care packages; pre-paid meal vouchers (with participating outlets); Woolworths or Coles grocery vouchers; or simply just showing up for conversation.
We also offer tickets to local community-led events — this has included the distribution of Telethon Community Outdoor Cinema tickets; City of Swan Monday Movie Matinee tickets, as well as places in skill building workshops that aim to get individuals job-ready. All in an attempt to restore a sense of community, inclusion and belonging for these individuals
