About us
Alter started with a vision to help people and communities be as vibrant and healthy as they can be. In a world where many people feel isolated and lonely, where online has replaced presence, and where differences in opinions can threaten to divide us…
We believe that healthy community helps people to thrive.
The name “Alter” means…
‘To change in character or composition, typically in a comparatively small but significant way’.
We exist to empower people to be good neighbours;
to each other, in community and in the world.
We do this by providing…
local cafes for people to gather
neighbourhood events to create opportunity for connection
school talks & workshops equipping young people to be leaders for change in their communities
a 4WD coffee car to support schools, businesses and organisations in putting on events for their communities
local community, global impact
We believe that healthy communities find ways to give back.
This is why 1% of all Alter coffee sales goes towards our World Vision sponsor child, a young girl in Indonesia. Our partnership supports her and her wider community.
We keep in touch with her regularly and we value the impact she has had on us too!
Our hope is that as Alter grows, we will be able to sponsor more children and see more families and communities empowered around the world.
