History

Peter Bardadyn has a history of community service through surf lifesaving and community banking (banks whose profits are distributed to the community they operate in) that together underpin his belief that when we all do a little, a lot can be achieved.

That belief was reinforced by American Economist Jeffrey Sachs in his book titled ‘The End of World Poverty’. That hypothesis, logically demonstrated, is that 1% of world income can end poverty in the world.

Hundred For Our Homeless

Peter’s belief is that a small percentage of that dollar would end homelessness! That was the genesis of ‘Hundred For Our Homeless’.

And the natural well-spring of the genesis should be the Housing Industry; those who assist people to obtain their home. Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Agent, Buyer’s Agents, Conveyancers, Builder as the ‘foundation’ of the initiative.

The driving force is the belief that there will be one extra dollar that ultimately will end homelessness.

The Simple Genius Of Our HFOH Initiative

Those community minded businesses donate a small proportion of each transaction directly to the homeless charities, such that every dollar raised goes directly to these established charities. HFOH does not raise revenue itself. Its purpose to enthuse and incentives business and the community to be the agents of change.

Benefits

Everyone benefits.

Those less fortunate in our community.

The charities who passionately go about their business.

The people who recognise that their choice, when they do nothing more than they do, makes a difference.

The Businesses who donate benefit in many ways with increased patronage, making their difference and creating a positive environment for their staff when they give.

Simply society looking after it’s own

  • By embedding support for the homeless into each transaction, giving becomes standard, not occasional. The amount is a business by business decision, whether ten cents per kilogram, a dollar per customer, one hundred dollars per mortgage, or even more it isthe embedding of this that is the key.

    This is corporate social responsibility at its most authentic, woven into everyday trade, benefiting both community and commerce.

  • You are critical because where you choose to spend your money makes the real difference. By supporting the businesses that support the homeless, you ensure that every purchase becomes a force for change.

  • They already do incredible working to restore dignity, provide shelter, and change lives and with more they will do so much more.
