Help Us Build the Community Hub for Manly
A space for growth, creativity, and connection — built by the community, for the community.
manly42 has always been about bringing people together — to share ideas, nurture well-being, and reimagine what’s possible when we collaborate.
We have achieved a lot this year and now, we’re ready to take the next step: establishing a permanent hub in Central Manly — a home for the movement, open from early morning to evening, where people can come together to socialise, move their bodies, learn, and rest.
The Vision: A Living Hub in the Heart of Manly 🏡
Imagine walking into a bright, welcoming space where something’s always happening — yoga at dawn, local clubs meeting over coffee, creative workshops, shared meals, film nights, talks, music, and the launch of The Academy of Life — a new kind of learning for a new kind of living.
It’s a place where:
Locals can host their own events, classes or clubs
Entrepreneurs, artists, and educators can co-create with the community
Everyone feels welcome, inspired and connected
This will be a living village for Manly locals.
Why We Need Your Support 💛
To make this vision a reality, we need help from people who believe in grassroots, community-led change — philanthropists, local businesses, sponsors, and supporters who want to invest in something meaningful and lasting.
Your contribution will help us:
Secure and fit out our permanent hub in Central Manly
Launch The Academy of Life and other wellness & creative programs
Support local initiatives and events that bring people together
Create a sustainable model for community-led growth
How You Can Help
There are several ways to get involved — every level of support makes a difference.

Help us establish the hub by contributing to our initial setup costs.
Founding funders will be recognised as pioneers of the manly42 movement — people who made this possible.

This is a chance to connect your brand with purpose, visibility, and impact.
