How To: Write an Effective Impact Story
At Good360 the impact created on the communities we provide for is the heart for why we do what we do. That is why we encourage our members to share impact stories, in order to tell our product donors and partners how their donations have made a difference in communities across Australia.

Good360 and UOW Collaborate for 7th Birthday Event

Giving back within the circular economy
Good360 was founded on the concept that in Australia there are brand new goods not being used, that can be redirected to help people in need. As an organisation we have grown, over the last seven years, to help over 3000 charities and disadvantaged schools get access to brand new products to help their communities.
