The compassion of our community has really come into its own over the past year and I want to thank you for your ongoing generosity towards the many people who’ve come to us experiencing hardship.
Thanks to you, we’ve been able to support over 150,800 people through our programs, a 9% increase on last year. This, amid spiralling costs of living and an unprecedented housing crisis that has seen more and more people in need of our help. Kindness itself has helped transform their lives.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for partnering with us. Together, we are doing all the good we can, knowing and believing passionately that every life matters.
Every blessing
Rev Stu Cameron
CEO and Superintendent
