WhAT WE DO
On any given day, there could be any number of people accessing our programs and services. The assistance we provide offers the people we help a purpose: from feeding themselves or their family, being able to put clothes on their backs, putting their life back together, undertaking training or finding employment to getting off the streets. Having a purpose in life gives people direction and meaning and most importantly is a starting point for those who have lost their way.
Through our programs and services, Angels Community Group works hard to support local individuals, families and the community by providing access to quality employment and training programs, innovative social enterprises and charitable projects that make an impact. Check them out below!

Employment & Training Programs
Work for the Dole
Angels Community Group successfully oversees participation in a broad range of activities under this federally funded government initiative. With valuable on-the-job skills and experience being gained, jobseekers are able to give back to the community by getting involved in local projects that are supported by local businesses.
Skilling Queenslanders for Work
Motiv8r and Helping Hands are two programs under the Skilling Queeenslanders for Work Initiative that provide Angels Community Group with the opportunity to support local Bundaberg people to gain the skills, qualifications and experience to enter and stay in the workforce. These programs improve skills and employment opportunities for eligible people and we are excited to be working with the Queensland Government to deliver these valuable employment and training programs.
Social Enterprises
Second2None
Second2None is a second-hand store and Angels Community Group’s main social enterprise. With the generosity of the local community, we are able to supply good quality second-hand goods and clothes to the people of Bundaberg. Second2None is also an opportunity to give our clients and volunteers real retail experience in a supportive work environment.
Angels Furniture Restoration
Angels Furniture Restoration project sources old and unwanted furniture and ‘up-cycles’ it by stripping the furniture down, redesigning it, carrying out repairs, painting it, stencilling and adding details to produce new furniture to a standard suitable for re-sale to the general public. Through this work we are able to provide employment, training and volunteer opportunities to local people.
Charitable projects
Angels School Lunch Program
One of the first projects of its kind in Bundaberg, Angels Community Group partnered with a local primary school to deliver food to students who would not normally eat lunch on a regular basis. The school Lunch Program runs completely on donations of food and goods/services from the local community.
Angels Community Cupboard
Another first of its kind for Bundaberg due to the fact that the cupboard is open 24 hours a day/seven days a week, we are able to provide a much-needed service by assisting individuals and families within the local community access essential grocery items during tough economic times at no cost. The philosophy behind the cupboard is take when you’re in need and give when you’re not.
Angels Delights Soup & Coffee Bar
Our latest project is an extension of our Community cupboard and operates 8am – 4pm Monday to Friday out of the Second2None store. Providing anyone who needs it with hot soup and coffee as well as cakes and slices on occasion, Angels Delight is fully sustained by donations from Angels Community Cupboard as well as the generosity of local individuals and businesses.
