Behind every statistic is a story.
At its core, RED is about mobilising people to have a transformational impact on individuals, communities and the globe.
Loneliness is a public health issue.
Our focus in 2023 and 2024 will be on the systemic issue of loneliness as one of the root causes of poverty, hardship and sickness.
With your participation, we are designing local programs in Adelaide, Melbourne and Bristol to address loneliness in our communities.

Transforming Cambodia.
Through our ongoing partnership with Transform Cambodia, we operate four ‘Edge Houses’ to support 100 children who were previously living in the slums of Phnom Penh. Each centre provides basic human rights such as food, shelter, education, and spiritual support to empower the children with freedom and purpose in Jesus. This partnership established a university scholarship program, ensuring these students have access to a bright, hope-filled future.
Boxes of practical help and eternal hope.
1,188 RED boxes have been distributed into our local communities to date. These boxes are tailored to meet the specific needs in our community, ranging from groceries to Christmas gifts. Every RED box meets practical needs through its contents, and extends eternal hope through its message.
