Supporter Spring 2020
Thanks to our corporate partners AnglicareSA welcomes the opportunity to partner with South Australian corporates to support their commitment to social responsibility, which generates a direct and positive impact to those in our community who are most in need.
Cathedral Banquet cancellation Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Cathedral Banquet, which was to be held on Friday 30 October 2020. In these uncertain times, it is unrealistic to plan for such a large event. Instead, we have turned our focus to the core reason for holding the Banquet – raising money to support those in our community who need our help. From the very start of the COVID-19 challenge, we have been focused on ensuring the continued delivery of our programs and services. Previous Cathedral Banquets, which raise more than $180,000 each year have provided support to: • Emergency assistance hubs to provide food, personal hygiene products, medication, blankets and referrals to other support services or counselling • Thread Together vans to provide brand new clothes and a sense of dignity. We recently served our 10,000th customer • Turning Point to support young families in crisis who are facing homelessness • Star Bear grief counselling camps, supporting children who have lost a significant person in their life. This work is only possible because of the generous support of our banquet – thank you. We look forward to welcoming you again at the 2021 Cathedral Banquet.

By being part of Family Connect, women can access English language classes, regular social connections and, where needed, referrals to further support. The additional generosity of the Coopers Brewery Foundation enabled AnglicareSA to run a pilot of the New Circles program. New Circles is designed to assist women with employment opportunities as a result of upskilling in the area of disability support, as well as training on job search, applications and interviews. We welcome expressions of interest from corporates interested in partnering with AnglicareSA. Together, we can make a difference to the lives of thousands of South Australians.

partnering with Beyond Bank on our Turning Point program. Turning Point is a housing first response program for families, offering safe, stable homes for single parent families experiencing homelessness in northern Adelaide. With the support of Beyond Bank, we’ve been able to source and furnish seven properties and support 84 families with temporary accommodation. All Turning Point participants comment on the positive impact it had on their lives and the relief they felt at having a safe place to live while they stabilised, obtained support and made decisions about their next steps. Coopers shareholder appeal The 2018/19 Coopers Annual Shareholder Appeal supported AnglicareSA’s Family Connect project, which addresses isolation and disengagement within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The project supports refugee and migrant women (particularly mothers with young children), to actively participate in their children’s schooling and their wider community.
