Our Story

Join the Good Hood

Since 2018, Good for the Hood has been empowering ordinary people to create change across neighbourhoods, community groups and workplaces.

Our vision is to build an eco-system of everyday change-makers and to make the journey accessible, positive and light-hearted so that every person – no matter what their age, political views or background – can be inspired to create their own piece of good.

The business was founded on the back of a grassroots community campaign to encourage people and business in the City of Ryde, Sydney to lower their use of single-use plastics.


Today, this one community campaign has inspired many many more, and the opportunity to support countless other community groups, corporates and councils on their pathway to change. With community and humour at the forefront, Good for the Hood is today a leader in sustainability communication and impact. We’re proud to donate a portion of our profits to aligned charities, including Groundswell.
