DRAFT | 2025 Year in Review: Wuu-rri Delivers Growing Impact Through Partnership and Purpose

2025 marked a significant year of growth and impact for Wuu-rri, with contributions generated through the Wuu-rri Vending Program continuing to support Indigenous entrepreneurship, youth leadership and community-led economic participation across Australia.

Across the year, everyday transactions made through Wuu-rri vending machines placed with host organisations nationwide were reinvested into programs that strengthen Indigenous business capability and create pathways for future leaders.

2025 Contributions and Impact

Throughout 2025, Wuu-rri’s national network of vending partners collectively generated meaningful contributions that supported the delivery of Indigenous capability-building initiatives, leadership development opportunities and entrepreneurship programs.

These contributions directly supported:

• Indigenous business capability and procurement readiness initiatives

• Leadership and professional development programs

• Networking and connection opportunities for Indigenous enterprises

• The launch of Wuu-rri’s first Microgrant Program, supporting Indigenous youth leadership

Together, these outcomes reflect the strength of Wuu-rri’s model — turning everyday commercial activity into long-term, community-led impact.

Q4 2025: Key Outcomes

The final quarter of 2025 represented a milestone period for Wuu-rri, with several key achievements delivered in partnership with members, hosts and communities.

During Q4, Wuu-rri:

• Delivered its first-ever microgrant, supporting an Indigenous youth leadership program in regional New South Wales

• Celebrated outstanding vending partners through the Wuu-rri Awards at The Summit 2025, recognising impactful corporate-community partnerships

• Hosted end-of-year member and partner networking events, strengthening relationships and collaboration across the Indigenous business ecosystem

• Continued national expansion of the Wuu-rri Vending Program, increasing awareness and funding for Indigenous enterprise initiatives

These outcomes demonstrate Wuu-rri’s growing ability to translate participation into tangible results.

Powered by Partnership

Every outcome delivered in 2025 was made possible through collaboration — from host organisations and partners to community-led program delivery and youth participation.

By choosing to host a Wuu-rri vending machine, organisations directly contributed to strengthening Indigenous enterprise, supporting future leaders and building a more inclusive economy.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As Wuu-rri enters 2026, the focus remains on scaling impact responsibly — expanding vending partnerships, delivering further microgrants, and continuing to invest in programs that support Indigenous youth, entrepreneurs and communities.

With strong foundations in place, Wuu-rri is well positioned to continue growing its impact through partnership, purpose and everyday action.
