Flowers Sponsored by
When businesses collaborate with a social enterprise like SLAK Flowers, they are contributing to positive change at a grassroots level. By buying from SLAK, you are directly addressing the pressing issue of homelessness in our society. Their team members have shown incredible resilience, escaping from domestic violence and difficult living situations. They were found on the streets, at Salvos and Dignity women's housing. SLAK provides a safe and nurturing work environment, along with training and development opportunities, to help their employees rebuild their lives and find a renewed sense of purpose.
