Those who benefit from its operations are the participants, predominantly young Indigenous people at risk, and their families, friends and communities.

Of the total group benefiting from BE’s work:

• 65% of total group are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
• 5% of total group are young people from Muslim background.
• 80% of total group are children and young people (12 – 18)
• 90% of total group are caught in intergenerational and long term cycles of poverty.
• 100% of total group are experiencing the long term effects of drugs / alcohol misuse.

Our work is for the long haul and we work one on one, one by one, then in partnership. BE has a strong program, with high social impact and is using a variety of art forms to work in community. We have more than fifteen contracting professional artists working with us. The clear participant focus takes arts interventions beyond a compassionate reaction of merely allowing people to tell their story. Using an asset based model for change, we assist all project stakeholders to develop new skills to provide culturally relevant responses to enhancing individual and community strengths.
