The Kala Space is the latest initiative from The National Homeless Collective.
In our Op Shop we employ women who are:
1. Escaping Domestic Abuse
2. Recently escaped Homelessness
3. Experiencing Homelessness
4. At risk of Homelessness.
The money from sales is used to pay these women’s wages, an important step towards independence.
The Kala Space sells great quality clothing for all genders and ages, accessories, shoes, bags and hats and aims to connect people through mind, body and spirit.
We’re an op shop, community courtyard and meditation space all in one.
Come in for a chat and see what we can do for you or how you can help us help even more people.
Contact us at any time via our Facebook page, or Email to hear more about how you can help or become part of this amazing Kala Space community.
If you would like to make a financial donation to The Kala Space you can do so using Credit Card or PayPal facilities through our secure payment gateway.

1000s of Toys to over 1000 Families
It was hard to keep a tally but we have a good guesstimate that we have handed out well over 2000 toys for kids in need this Christmas 🎄 Given we were aiming for the sky with our request for 250 gifts this is absolutely phenomenal.

Thank you to every single one of you who has donated a gift or donated financially. We had the privilege of meeting some of our gift giving angels at The Kala
