BEST STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Orange Sky Australia

Adairs and Orange Sky

Adairs and Orange Sky have been in partnership since February 2020. Since then, Adairs have provided over $500,000 to support Orange Sky services across Australia and New Zealand. All profits from the sale of Adairs inhouse designed reusable totes go to Orange Sky. In the first two years of partnership, the COVID-19 pandemic helped homewares income grow significantly. With the support of Adairs consumers, Orange Sky was able to continue to provide to those experiencing homelessness in an uncertain time and navigate the increased cost and resourcing required to support volunteers.

Finalist

Adairs corporate and retail team members across all levels of the company are given the opportunity to volunteer with Orange Sky. They collect donations via in-store donation boxes. The Adairs corporate and executive leadership team participate in the annual peer-to-peer fundraising activity, The Sudsy Challenge. Funds have helped the Orange Sky community recovery services, the Northern Rivers and SE East Queensland flood victims.

Adairs engage Orange Sky as recipients of profits generated by bespoke homewares collections and weave homelessness statistics into key campaign periods. They focused on the 400,000 women over 45 at risk of homelessness in the Adairs International Women’s Day campaign in 2022. Adairs and Orange Sky also work on gift in-kind opportunities including product and gift card gifts for the incredible volunteers and community fundraisers.
