Taste Tours celebrate diversity through food.
Help us create more training and employment opportunities, build social and economic participation, inspire more cross cultural understanding where it’s needed most, by investing in our growth.
Our Project
By establishing a physical space we can scale our social enterprise. We will increase our capacity to train more tour guides and scope new areas, creating more employment opportunities, in more places, making a positive social and financial impact in the
communities where it’s needed the most.
We know that 98% of participants (Tasters) do not live in the tour area and that 63% of from every tour we run, will return to the tour location to shop.
Every Taster that goes back to shop, takes on average 2 people with them, and they spend around $30 each.
The result is an extra $20,000+ in new sales in each town centre, for every tour we operate – this means more local jobs, more work for guides and more people from all over Sydney embracing a community, culture and place they would never have visited if
they had not gone on a tour.
An added bonus is effect the tours, and amazing media coverage the tours generate, on the people who live in the tour communities. An increased sense of pride and achievement is evident, and this has a flow on effect to how the people and the place see
themselves – it’s a triple win!
Our vision is for tours to be operating in every community in Sydney that struggles with social challenges.
Our impact is proven, it’s time to scale so we can make a difference in many more communities, but we need your help.
We invite you to join the Taste campaign, eat for good and make a difference.
We have designed a menu of rewards to suit all appetites for change. Choose from nibbles or a full feast, either way you will be full with pride.
Why Taste Exists
Taste was formed in partnership with communities, in response to circumstances which were less than ideal – disengaged youth, cultural tensions, high unemployment. Our products are co-designed with communities, our business is run by community members.
The same people who are affected by the challenges within their communities are part of the solution. They know what will work to shift their circumstances and change their lives and the lives of their neighbours, friends and families.
Our objectives are:
1. to promote diverse town centres and small cultural businesses through the media and tours,
2. to employ local people to deliver the tours, and
3. to work in partnership with local councils, community and business groups to promote economic development.
How You Can Help!
