Email Profile Print Profile

When Rob Caslick was 12, his grandmother introduced him to soup kitchens. Ever since, and throughout his career, he was always spent significant hours volunteering to ensure those who are most vulnerable to food insecurity can eat.

Then, in 2010, he founded his own organic soup kitchen in Sydney’s Kings Cross. Now, that soup kitchen is known as the social enterprise which employs women who are homeless due to domestic violence.

It is a business that provides food, support, and training to survivors of domestic violence. What started as “wheel[ing] the barbecue about 300 meters” to grill up a shared feast for the areas homeless and drug-addicted is now a national provider of food and lifestyle products to women’s shelters across the country.

Although Rob is a social entrepreneur who scaled a soup kitchen to a national provider of food to women’s shelters, what he is most proud of is being able to support and empower women who have survived domestic violence.

Previous Experience
Rob spent six years as a marine engineering officer with the Royal Australian Navy. After this experience, which included active service in the Persian Gulf, he then commenced another six years as a mechanical engineer in the construction industry. He has since quit engineering to focus on Two Good Co.

I wanted to personally thank you for your time and speaking yesterday at the event - was a pleasure to have you there and I know everyone loved hearing about Two Good and what Legacy means to you and the team!

TEDx

Thank you for the inspirational presentation. My colleague and I attended and we both held back tears. We loved the idea of it all and enjoyed eating the food that had been prepared for us. It was great to hear the story behind what we were eating. I found it a very inspirational session both from a social enterprise and entrepreneur perspective but also to hear about how the organisation has empowered women. Probably my favourite WELL event so far.
