The MaraWay's Legacy of Community Support

Over the years, The MaraWay has spearheaded numerous initiatives to uplift the Cairns community, addressing some of the most pressing and often hidden challenges, such as poverty, illness, homelessness, substance abuse, and family violence. These efforts have aimed to alleviate the distress these issues cause, not just to individuals and families but to the entire community. By providing support and opportunities for positive change, The MaraWay has consistently worked to break the cycles of suffering and foster a healthier, more resilient society. The benefits of these efforts extend far beyond the individuals helped, positively impacting our collective wellbeing, society, and economy.

One of these initiatives was The MaraWay Community Hub, which, in its time, provided critical assistance to approximately 5,000 individuals and families through its drop-in services. However, in response to the evolving needs of our community and the broader changes in the world, The MaraWay made the difficult decision, at the end of 2023, to close the Anderson Hub facility.

The MaraWay Community Hub: A New Chapter

We are working on a new model for social change and new venue

The closure of the Anderson Hub marks a new chapter for The MaraWay as we rethink how we deliver social change. The Community Hub was a highly successful project in its time, providing crucial support to thousands of individuals and families in Cairns. Although the physical Hub no longer exists, our commitment to its guiding principles remains strong.

The new focus of our efforts is the development of our farm, which now serves as our primary venue. Here, we are concentrating on embedding the Hub’s values into our training programmes and farm activities, ensuring we continue to empower individuals and promote positive change.

While some services are paused as we explore innovative delivery methods, our goal is to establish a sustainable social enterprise that effectively meets community needs and fosters resilience and responsibility.
