Raising awareness and reducing stigma, one conversation at a time.

This GambleAware Week, Fair Foundations joined the GambleAware Week Working Group for an interactive art event in Fairfield.

Together, we had over 40 conversations with community members directly or indirectly affected by gambling harm. We shared information about available support and created space to discuss the social, emotional, financial and family impacts.

An interactive installation by artivist Nelson Nghe featured vending machine capsules filled with pompoms made by Fair Foundations sewing group, each representing individuals and families in Fairfield affected by gambling harm, as well as a lolly-machine activity encouraging people to pause and learn, each spin offering a lolly alongside a “Did you know?” fact about gambling harm. Every conversation led to an opportunity to build understanding, reduce stigma and remind people that support is available, and through creativity and connection, the event encouraged open discussion and helped make pathways to support more visible.

Thank you to our event partners: South Western Sydney Local Health District, GambleAware NSW, GambleAware Multicultural Services, City Council, Woodville Alliance, The Parks Community Network Inc, CORE Community, and Oakdene House as well as Nelson Nghe and our sewing group for their dedication and contribution to the artwork.

If gambling harm is affecting you or someone close to you, our team can connect you with trusted services supporting individuals and families. For more information, visit fairfoundations.org.au/what-we-do/community-hub. Free and confidential support is also available through GambleAware on 1800 858 858.

For Sofia*, having a welcoming place to learn made all the difference.

Five months of reading progress in just 7–10 weeks. That's the power of the right support.

For Leo*, reading wasn't always easy. Unfamiliar words left him frustrated, and asking for help felt difficult.

Through Fair Foundations' ‘Learning Together’ program, Leo found patient educators who encouraged him to keep trying, ask questions and build his confidence.

And the results speak for themselves. Among 26 students who completed reading assessments before and after the program, average reading age increased by just over five months.

Imagine what more children could achieve with access to this kind of support.

This is your opportunity to take on an adventure with a purpose.

Take on the Three Peaks Adventure Challenge 2027 and help keep practical learning support free for local children and families.

Your challenge could help a child move from "I can't" to "Can you help me try?"

Building digital confidence, one connection at a time.

As part of Get Online Week 2026, Fair Foundations supported our community in breaking down digital barriers to stay connected.

The event provided an educational environment that was both friendly and practical — participants could explore technology and learn new skills with a range of interactive digital activities available.

Over 55 attendees aged 50 years and older participated in activities designed to make learning fun and accessible, like Emoji Bingo, how to take the perfect selfie, and making video calls to their loved ones. These activities focused on fostering digital confidence and encouraging participants to explore new skills while demonstrating how technology can keep us all connected.

Essential information on online safety and scam awareness was also provided, and attendees were informed how they can continue their learning at home and at Fair Foundations’ Digital Inclusion groups.

Following the event, 5 participants register for our Digital Literacy Peer Support Group, as they were excited to continue their learning, with one man even enrolling both himself and his wife. One participant was ecstatic when she learned how to send her daughter a picture because digital empowerment is about helping people feel confident, connected, informed and included.

A big thank you to Good Things Foundation Australia for supporting Get Online Week and helping communities build digital inclusion and confidence.

Thank you to our partners, staff and volunteers who supported the event and helped create an encouraging and inclusive experience. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who participated, gave the activities a go and helped make the event enjoyable.

Could your next adventure help a child find the confidence to succeed?

For Maya*, even starting her homework could feel overwhelming. Without the right support, she often hesitated, afraid of getting things wrong. But through Fair Foundations' ‘Learning Together’ program, Maya discovered something powerful: the confidence to try. With patient guidance and encouragement, she began tackling challenges independently, asking questions and believing in herself.

Now, you can take on a challenge of your own to help more children like Maya.

Join the Three Peaks Adventure Challenge 2027 and turn your adventure into an opportunity to help local children learn, grow and thrive.

Gambling harm affects one in five people.

Whether it's poker machines, sports and race betting, online gambling, or lotteries and scratchies - what starts as a bit of fun can slowly build over time.

When people who speak a language other than English experience 16.4% of the harm, we need to work together to reduce the number of those impacted.

If gambling harm is affecting you or someone close to you, our team can help connect you with the right support. We work with trusted services that support both individuals and families, and we’ll work with you to find the option that best suits your needs.

Visit gambleaware.nsw.gov.au for resources on gambling harm, or go to fairfoundations.org.au/what-we-do/community-hub to find out how we can support you.
