Spirit-o-Meter

This festive season, share the spirit of generosity by giving back to our Spirt-O-Meter. Throughout December, Collins Square will be collecting donations to support Lighthouse Foundation. The Spirit-O-Meter will keep track of all your donation efforts throughout this festive period.

In partnership with Lighthouse Foundation, we have put together a few ways you can help us give back and raise funds to provide a safe home and community for homeless children to belong, heal and thrive. Together, help us make a difference by participating in one of many fundraising activations throughout the precinct during the month of December:

• Wishing Tree Appeal – Donation

  Be the ray of hope to the children and young people of Lighthouse Foundation by leaving a message on the Wishing Tree and making a small donation.

• Gift Wrapping Station – Gold Coin Donation

  Take some of the pressure off of gift-giving season by having your bundle of gifts wrapped for a gold coin donation.

• Bauble Bonanza Workshop – Free Participation

  Share the magic of Christmas and decorate festive baubles that will brighten a Lighthouse home.

• Festive Crackers Workshop – Free Participation

  Spread the Christmas cheer and craft vibrant, bespoke bonbons filled with delightful treats that will be gifted back to Lighthouse homes.
