Matthew Levy OAM, a Paralympic gold medallist, disability inclusion advocate and author, serves as a driving force behind the launch of Charity Journal.
Charity Journal, a newly established volunteer-powered NFP storytelling platform, is set to make its mark on the Australian charitable sector with the support of founding patron Matthew Levy. The platform aims to empower charity leaders, advocates and ambassadors to share their stories with the community.
“I believe storytelling is a powerful tool for education and inspiration,” Levy said. “Through Charity Journal, we can amplify the voices of those making a difference. From my experience as a Paralympian to my work with various charities, I’ve seen firsthand how sharing stories can foster awareness, connection and positive change in our community.”
Levy believes storytelling can help build empathy and drive impact. Drawing from his extensive experience as an inclusion and equity advocate, Levy envisions that the platform will inspire, educate and motivate Australians to support and engage with charitable causes.
“Empathy is the bridge that connects us, and sharing our stories is the first step toward crossing it,” he added. “When we amplify the voices of those driving change, we empower others to join the journey toward a more inclusive and compassionate world.”
The platform will publish interviews, Q&A sessions, and feature articles highlighting the remarkable work of Australian charity leaders, volunteers and ambassadors. It has a team of volunteer writers committed to producing meaningful stories that encourage empathy, understanding and action.
Charity Journal operates with the help of small grants and community donations. As a free and ad-free platform, it ensures accessibility for all while giving volunteer writers opportunities to hone their skills and build their writing portfolios.
“Our goal is to provide a space where powerful stories can be told, connecting individuals with the incredible work happening across Australia’s charitable sector,” a Charity Journal spokesperson said. “We are incredibly grateful to Matthew Levy for his invaluable support in helping us bring this vision to life.”
