The Raine & Horne Port Douglas Mossman team pulls up their socks for a good cause.

A fun moment for our Port Douglas and Mossman offices teams: to try on our newly acquired Raine & Horne branded “Swanky Socks” when it’s over 30 degrees outside! But we didn’t even think twice when we decided to go ahead and buy a bunch of them to help make a positive change on people’s lives.

Empowering people experiencing homelessness with Dignity

Dignity currently provides supported temporary accommodation and longer-term stable housing for up to 180 people every night of the year and operates multiple programs to prevent homelessness, including food relief and education across Australia. Since Dignity’s inception, more than 65,000 people have been supported. 

“The generous support and partnership with Raine & Horne were initiated at a time when Dignity identified a surge in demand for our services due to the ongoing health pandemic, and the collaboration with the Raine & Horne Foundation has helped make an impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Dignity’s supported temporary guest houses that accommodate men, women, and children have experienced full occupancy on most nights with guests requiring longer stays and higher levels of support due to lockdown restrictions and with many other services currently inaccessible. 

“Thanks to Raine & Horne’s support, we have been able to rise to many of the challenges we have faced since the start of lockdowns. 

Ms Anjee Hopton, National Marketing Manager, Raine & Horne Group, said, “We are delighted that we can lend a hand by supporting the fantastic work of an organisation such as Dignity, and we hope to donate many hundreds of pairs of new socks to those who are doing it tough in the middle of a pandemic.”
