In western traditions if you blow out a dandelion seedhead and make a wish it will come true. Our program works by helping our volunteers reliase their potential for impact and sending them out (or blowing them out) to the community with their skillset and good intention. At the beginning of the process we may not know the final destination of our intention but we know, just like the dandelion, that our intention and good composition will help our community wherever we land.


As a dandelion volunteer we embody the principles of making the most out of minimal resources and being resilient, flexible and nurturing in our style and approach. We send out our taproots to connect with our environment and enrich our surrounds by distributing key resources with our community.

Create sustainable change

We need your support so that you can contribute to our allied social organisations and our Primed projects.
