Our team

At Addi Road, community always comes first. From the many people who visit our food pantries in Marrickville and Camperdown, to the hundreds of visitors to the community markets every Sunday, Addi Road is a place where people come together, feel a sense of belonging, and are made welcome.

Addi Road Ambassador, Craig Foster

Human rights activist and sporting legend, Craig Foster has worked with us since COVID times when he helped mobilise and inspire others to help provide emergency relief to people falling through the cracks. Today he continues to work tirelessly and passionately for human rights and social justice, including through our Racism Not Welcome advocacy and as a leading voice promoting our Hampers of Hope campaign. Craig has a long list of achievements, including 29 caps as a Socceroo, and we are incredibly blessed to have him as our Ambassador.

Rosanna  describes herself as a realistic optimist. She’s worked in community development for 30 years and believes each of us has a vital part to play in building a just world to live in.

Rosanna is used to working in poor communities around the globe, but believes being poor in a rich country is one of the most stigmatising. Through Addi Road, she hopes to bring a sense of power to those who feel powerless and to establish a strong sense of community.
