is a double-storied terrace owned by The NSW Dept of Housing and located at 67 Raglan Street, Redfern/Waterloo. Reputed to once being an R.M. Williams hat factory, it has for the past 30 or so run a range of programs for the residents of the area, especially those who live in the surrounding public housing and high rise and precinct dwellings. The Factory also acts as a meeting place for local organizations. We have a bus which is a vital part of these programs for group excursions, picking children up from school in the afternoons, and for our vacation program.
is an area of inner Sydney of high-density public housing, with 4700 high rise and precinct dwellings and is well known for its high indigenous and new settler population, to whom we not only provide program support, but also assistance with specific needs such as literacy, housing, employment, immigration, domestic violence, parenting, and drug & alcohol issues.
is managed by annually elected representatives of the local community, together with program representatives. As a small but effective, local, welfare organization, The Factory identifies with the local community, including the provision of support for people of high social and economic disadvantage. We achieve this with the support of our partners Barnardos Australia, Anglicare, JewishCare, and Sydney Day Nursery.
