HOW WE HELP.
Recovery support
Recovery isn't a single moment — it's a gradual return to calm, control, and confidence. We believe everyone deserves the chance to move through mental health challenges and rebuild a steady sense of self.
Growing our support
We're actively seeking additional programs and partners to support mental health in our community. If you know of an organisation doing this work well, we'd love to hear from you.
The Pillar Code
What they do
The Pillar Code is a 12-step, trauma-informed program helping adults move through stress, overwhelm, and feeling stuck — toward genuine healing, growth, and lasting change. The Kids Code offers the same depth of care for children, helping them overcome fear, build resilience, and restore their self-worth.
How we help
1. Sponsored 17 adults into The Pillar Code program.
2. Funded the participation of 11 children in The Kids Code program.

As a police officer with 38 years’ experience and PTSD, The Pillar Code has made a real difference in my life.
I feel calmer, relieved and more alive. It has changed the way I look at my life and helped me get back on the right track as I transition into retirement. I am now doing things I would not have been able to do three months ago.
