Lume in the community
Explore our commitment to connection, compassion, and change.
At Lume Wealth, we care deeply about the wellbeing of our community as a whole – the people, families, and support networks that surround us. Yet within this broader community, women often face unique and disproportionate financial challenges.
Financial wellbeing is at the heart of what we do, and we know it’s about more than numbers – it’s about security, dignity, and independence. That’s why we don’t just support our clients – we stand alongside women in the wider community who are navigating hardship and disadvantage, and we’re committed to making a meaningful difference.
We’re proud to share our ongoing partnership with The Forgotten Women, a dedicated initiative working to provide safe, secure, and affordable housing for older women at risk of homelessness.
With EOFY approaching, now is the perfect time to give back and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The crisis older women are facing
Led by Mangrove Housing, the project addresses a critical issue: women over 55 are the fastest-growing homeless population in Australia.
Many of these women have spent their lives caring for others, raising families, and contributing to their communities – only to find themselves vulnerable and overlooked in their later years. The Forgotten Women project is working to change that.
They’re not just providing shelter – they’re restoring stability, dignity, and hope to women who’ve spent their lives giving, only to face hardship in return.
How we’re helping – and how you can too
As a proud charity partner of The Forgotten Women, we’ve committed to long-term support through fundraising, advocacy, and community involvement. One of the cornerstone events is the Live Like Her Challenge – where participants spend one night in their car to raise funds and experience just a glimpse of what these women endure.
The 2024 challenge brought together over 340 participants and raised more than $347,000 – all while shining a national spotlight on the issue. With the next event set for 4 September 2025, the Lume Wealth team will be back – and this year, we’re aiming even higher. We’d love for you to join us and help make an even greater impact.
Why this goes beyond financial advice
At Lume Wealth, we know that money is never just about money – it’s about choice, opportunity, and feeling safe. That’s why giving back isn’t just a gesture – it’s a reflection of our values. Supporting women doing it tough, especially those left behind, is something we care deeply about.
We’ll be sharing updates, stories, and ways you can get involved throughout the year – whether that’s by joining our team at the challenge, making a donation, or simply helping spread the word.
Because every woman deserves a place to call home.
