Present
Beananging Kwuurt Institute is located on a large piece of land (40,000 m2), with a group of historical buildings.
We are working to maintain these buildings, and to preserve this site as a link to the history of the Stolen Generations. We are actively seeking funding from other agencies for site maintenance and further community programs.

Our current outreach programs include:
FOOD RESCUE
Every Thursday at 1pm, we give out fresh food to anyone in the community who is in need. The food is collected every week from SecondBite, an organisation that rescues surplus food across the retail network for redistribution to more than 1,300 charities across Australia.
Our ethos is to help all people who are in need. Families who are Indigenous, non-Indigenous and from other cultures all access our Food Rescue program, which keeps us in touch with the wider community.
SECOND HAND CLOTHING OP SHOP
BKI operate a second hand clothing op shop, providing affordable clothing, children’s needs and household goods from families. The opshop is operated every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday by volunteers.
ART AND YARNING CLASSES
On Thursday mornings a group of people gather to do art and yarn. All welcome to join at 10am on Thursday mornings.
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Drop in on Wednesday mornings to get involved in our Community Garden or register your interest here.
COME AND HAVE A YARN WITH US
People in our community are invited to drop in any time they like and have a yarn with the volunteers at BKI.
