Social Enterprise

The Foundation actively supports the St Peter’s Eastern Hill Social Enterprise Inc, Heaven at The Hill, a not-for-profit social enterprise, committed to advancing social inclusion.

The social enterprise runs a coffee caravan that operates in St Peter’s Place, just in front of St Peter’s. It also operates a student meals programme, in partnership with Fairshare.

The purpose of the social enterprise is to support people who experience unique barriers to employment. It does this by offering people jobs and volunteer work experience, creating pathways to better socioeconomic resilience.

The Foundation has supported the social enterprise by purchasing the coffee caravan from which the business runs, supporting the construction of a commercial kitchen onsite, in which light meals sold in the caravan are prepared, and providing whatever other infrastructure is required for the smooth running of the business.

Come along and try the great coffee from the caravan on St Peter’s Place (at the corner of Gisborne Street and Albert Street, East Melbourne).
