What We Do Matters
Projects that empower individuals, strengthen communities, and inspire lasting change. Because Being Matters.
ABOUT US
Being Matters delivers and supports the development of practical, human centred solutions and projects, that strengthen people and the systems around them. Based in the Northern Rivers of NSW, we engage locally and support projects that are designed for national impact.
We are committed to supporting and delivering projects alongside specialist partners, that bridge gaps in support, wellbeing, education, and inclusion. Engaging in projects that are accessible, measurable, and capable of real social change.
As a collaborative incubator, we bring together lived experience, professionals, and community leaders that use scalable solutions for social and community initiatives, that support empowerment of those living with disadvantage, to
create long term systemic improvement.
OUR STORY
Lynda Keane founded Being Matters Inc in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales after years of working within the disability sector and grassroots community support initiatives.
Through both her entrepreneurial mindset and lived experience, Lynda identified first-hand where systems could improve, recognising industry gaps and opportunities to better support individuals in building genuine capacity. Rather than simply observing these challenges, she began creating practical, effective solutions designed to empower people and strengthen community outcomes.
Being Matters Inc is a registered not-for-profit organisation with the ACNC, established as the charitable vehicle to deliver these initiatives for public benefit.
Drawing on both professional expertise and personal insight, Being Matters Inc was founded alongside a committed committee who share the same vision and values: to create and support meaningful pathways that strengthen community, empower those living with disadvantage, and transform understanding into innovation.
Because all being matters.
