Reconciliation Week

This National Reconciliation Week, we are ‘wearing it yellow’ at our Roastery to show our support for Children’s Ground and their important work.

As a company, we are passionate about, and committed to, respecting and learning about the lands we live on; standing in solidarity with First Nations people and actively working to advance reconciliation. As part of this ongoing engagement and commitment, we actively participate in activities and celebrations for National Reconciliation Week, and each year we wear a touch of yellow to support the work of Children’s Ground.

“National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia” – Reconciliation Australia

Why we're ‘Wearing it Yellow’ this Reconciliation Week

The 2024 theme for National Reconciliation Week is “Now More Than Ever”. In the spirit of this theme, we are shining a spotlight on Children's Ground, a bold not-for-profit organisation who are advocating and making change for a brighter future with, and for, First Nations children, families and communities. Children’s Ground works with First Nations communities across Central Australia, taking a family-centred, First Nations-led approach to education.

Children’s Ground’s ‘Wear it Yellow’ campaign runs during National Reconciliation Week. It’s an opportunity to amplify the organisation’s message, and to raise funds to support their work. Children’s Ground chose yellow for this campaign as it’s the colour at the centre of the Aboriginal flag, representing the sun. Yellow is also the colour of the Children’s Ground logo, which they describe as “fresh, energetic and hopeful”.
