We Are Mobilise ('Mobilise') is an Australian homelessness charity established in 2016 that supports people facing housing insecurity and homelessness through direct financial aid, advocacy and social connection through outreach.[1] Mobilise "provides recognition and functional care for people facing homelessness across Australia."[2]
The charity's mission statement is "Mobilise's vision is to create a world where no one has to sleep on the street".[3] CEO Noah Yang states the organisation has the "goal to transform 10,000 lives facing homelessness by 2030."[4]
Mobilise partnered with ultramarathon runner Nedd Brockmann on national fundraising campaigns in 2022 and 2024, raising over $6.8 million to support the charity's programs.[5][6]
History
[edit]Mobilise was founded in 2016 by 20-year-old Noah Yang when he was a university student in Melbourne, Australia.[7] Yang and a friend undertook the first "Outreach" where they handed out bread and making conversation with people experiencing homelessness.[1] In its early years, Yang credited Monash University’s Leave No One Behind program with helping shape a structured model for Mobilise, enabling the organisation to expand its reach and impact.[8]
In January 2020, We Are Mobilise gained charity status with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.
In 2024, The Guardian reported that We Are Mobilise was working with ultramarathon runner Nedd Brockmann on a fundraising campaign aiming to raise $10 million, and noted the charity had received nearly $2.5 million in revenue in 2022/23, entirely from donations.[9]
Programs
[edit]Mobilise launched three direct cash transfer programs, Mobilise Matched, Mobilise Kickstarter, Mobilise Pay after Nedd Brockmann's 2022 run.[10] These programs "direct financial assistance, employment opportunities, and essential support to individuals and families at risk of homelessness."[10]
The charity runs two additional direct giving programs, Mobilise Wellbeing and Mobilise Mobility.[3]
The charity also operates a volunteer program, where volunteers offer "everyday items and friendly conversations to people doing it tough on the streets across Australia."[11]
Fundraising campaigns
[edit]In 2022, Brockmann ran 3,800km cross-country, from Perth to Sydney, raising $2 million for Mobilise and becoming the fastest Australian to run across the country, completing the challenge in 46 days and 12 hours.[5][12]
In October 2024, Brockmann completed another fundraising campaign, Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge, running 1000 miles in 12 days at Sydney Olympic Park athletics track, raising over $4.8 million for Mobilise, and engaging the public to complete their own challenges and fundraising.[6][13]
Mobilise is the official charity partner for the Triple J Hottest 100, 2024.[14]
