Community Ambassadors
Major Media Fundraising Campaigns
Triple M’s Hike for Hope inspired local businesses and the community to not only walk 30 kilometres, but also to take action by raising critical funds to support our Crisis Accommodation Service, with a record-breaking amount raised in their five-year history of Hike for Hope.
Community generosity shone through our friends in the media. The Advertiser Sunday Mail Foundation Blanket Appeal provided warmth and comfort during the coldest months, while FiveAA’s Undie Drive raised funds to support the purchase of new underwear and bras for women arriving at Catherine House.
The Catherine House Community Ambassador Program continues to be a powerful force for change, amplifying our message and extending our reach across South Australia. This year, 40 ambassadors have played a vital role in raising awareness, generating funds, and fostering meaningful conversations about homelessness and the experiences of women in crisis.
School and Education Program
The Catherine House School and Education Program continues to engage young people across South Australia in meaningful conversations about homelessness, social justice, and community responsibility. Throughout the year, we partnered with a growing number of schools to deliver presentations, workshops, and fundraising initiatives. These sessions not only educated students about the realities faced by women experiencing homelessness but also empowered them to become advocates for change. The program is a proven catalyst for long-term engagement, inspiring the next generation to take action and build a more compassionate society. We are excited to continue expanding this in the coming year, deepening our impact and strengthening our connection with schools across SA.
