"It’s fantastic to see all the ways the community comes together to improve the lives of people in need. From undertaking challenges, to dress-up days, quizzes, raffles and cake-bakes, to donating, setting up a regular gift, volunteering or spreading the word, it all helps to ensure people living in hardship are warm, safe and fed and have the basics in life that we all deserve."
To help us mark our special birthday, we’d love to receive your birthday messages. These may be used at events, online, and publications during our 150th year to help highlight the fantastic support we have in the community.
