MESSAGE FROMTHE CEO
A t AnglicareSA we have had a tremendous amount to be grateful for over the past few months. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our fellow South Australians who have given their time, expertise, goods, money and love to help AnglicareSA give hope and support to those in need. Our Christmas Appeal raised more than $175,000 for AnglicareSA’s emergency assistance services. It allows us to continue these vital services for which demand continues to grow. AnglicareSA was able to distribute
A recent highlight for AnglicareSA was the launch of our Mobile Wardrobes with Thread Together. Our partnership with Thread Together will see brand new clothing delivered direct to those in our community who need it most. It’s a life-changing initiative and one we are very proud to be involved in. On a personal note I want to congratulate and thank our very own Peter Burke on 20 years of service at AnglicareSA. For those of you who have been lucky enough to cross paths with Peter you will know his work has made an impact far beyond the borders of AnglicareSA and across our community. Finally, I’m delighted to announce that AnglicareSA has achieved White Ribbon Accreditation. Being a White Ribbon accredited workplace means we are an employer who is actively committed to providing a safe working environment and preventing men’s violence against women. Looking ahead in 2018 there is a lot of work to be done as we continue to deliver on our mission to provide care and support with a voice for disadvantaged and vulnerable people in our communities. It is reassuring to know we have so many generous and caring South Australians willing to join us on this journey. Thank you for your continued support.
WE HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY THE GENEROSITY OF OUR FELLOW SOUTH AUSTRALIANS
a record number of hampers at Christmas time due to an
overwhelming response to our call for hamper items. Thanks to everyone who donated goods and time to make this happen. The spirit of Christmas was well and truly with us at Henley Beach, when Joe’s Kiosk staff donated their time on Christmas morning to make coffee for beach goers. It was a beautiful morning for a coffee at the beach and the $2,500 raised was donated to AnglicareSA’s emergency assistance services. AnglicareSA is proud to be a member and supporter of the Adelaide Zero Project, on which I serve as Co-Chair. We were thrilled to have across-the- board support from all political parties at the recent launch of the project and look forward to working with all levels of government, business groups and the community sector to end functional street homelessness in Adelaide.
