Regenerate is a registered charity that assists people who are re-establishing a home after experiencing domestic abuse and homelessness.
Through our partnership with agencies that provide housing services and crisis accommodation, we provide survivors of family violence with furniture, whitegoods, and homewares so that they can live comfortably without the financial and mental burden of furnishing a home. We also provide care packages to family violence survivors entering crisis accommodation.
We recognise that many family violence survivors flee their homes with few possessions. They often enter emergency accommodation or crisis housing without the day to day essentials. We provide care packages on their arrival which include brand new linen, pillows and toiletries.

Joy Packs
Donated
It has been wonderful to witness the joy and excitement being felt by families as they move into their new homes.
One mum who moved in just last week said the family's first night was the first time her son had ever slept through the night. She compared the apartment to sleeping on a cloud, because it was so quiet and comfortable. She was so thankful for all of the household items provided in her new home, including the additional dinosaur gift put aside for her to give to her son for his birthday.
Another new mum was brought to tears when she was told the household items in her new home were donated and hers to keep. She was so blown away that she would be offered such kindness.
Often family violence survivors move into housing with only the items that they can carry. We provide the furnishings, electrical and home goods that they require to create a safe and comfortable home for themselves and their families.
