BASIC Parramatta

The Table Project is designed to create communities of connection and alleviate distress through food and hospitality. It seeks to support people at risk of poverty, who are in distress or who are experiencing helplessness, through provision of emergency meals, low cost food, basic training in hospitality, as well as reducing isolation and loneliness through community initiatives.

The DADS Cooperative project is aimed at supporting new fathers through creating community groups targeting dads and running parenting seminars. Targeting a key stage of life that often increases risk of distress, isolation, family stress, financial hardship and mental illness, the Dads Coop seeks to alleviate these through community connection, training and referral to community services.
