Good Omen Goodeze (affectionately known as GOG) is a grassroots charity that started about 5 years ago to engage Canberrans of all walks of life to craft beautiful comfort items for patients, families and staff in the ACT health services. GOG’s vision is ‘providing warmth and comfort for those in need, one stitch at a time’ and our key focus is crafting items for people in ICU, aged care and end of life settings, while also reaching out into other areas of the community including children’s vaccinations, local charities, walk-in centres and the ACT Ambulance Service. Our Goodies are sent to hospitals and health care centres across the ACT including The Canberra HospitalNorth Canberra HospitalUniversity of Canberra Hospital Bruce, Clare Holland HouseACT Ambulance Service, Gungahlin, Belconnen and Dickson Walk in CentresRoundabout ACT.

Our charitable work focuses on engaging the local community through meet ups, workshops, public events and online activities with a focus on fostering positive, supportive and inclusive opportunities for people to meet, learn and share a love of crafting – all with the aim of giving back to people in need in the ACT community. This includes Canberra, Taylor, Ginninderry, Evatt, and Dickson.  We engage community groups with outreach to people from culturally diverse or socially isolated backgrounds, as well as schools, universities and through online initiatives. Much of our work supports mental health in the community, and our comfort items also facilitate health care – GOG items are recognised as supporting two ACT health care accreditation standards.
