This Christmas, our focus is closer to home.

Through Woodbridge Giving, we’re grateful to come together with one of our foundation partners, Women’s Property Initiatives (WPI), to support women and families across Victoria who are doing it tough this festive season.

WPI identified 12 women and families within their community — including single mothers with young children and older women living alone — who are facing Christmas with limited means or support.

The reality is confronting: women aged 55+ are now the fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness in Victoria, many of whom will spend this time of year alone.

Each Woodbridge team member was paired with a woman or family whose story resonated with them, and invited to contribute a meaningful gift, something chosen with care to bring comfort, dignity or joy this Christmas.

This week, Roberta Buchanan, CEO of WPI and her team joined us at our Melbourne office to collect these gifts and shared firsthand how initiatives like this make a tangible difference within their community.

It’s a simple act, but one that can mean the world to someone who might otherwise spend Christmas alone.

We thank our team for their generosity, thought and care they’ve shown — and grateful to WPI for the vital work they do every day
