Rental Affordability Snapshot Media Launch

29 April 2021

In partnership with Anglicare Australia and other members of the Anglicare Australia Network from across the country, we launched the 2021 Rental Affordability Snapshot.

The Rental Affordability Snapshot reveals that post-COVID there is a distressing lack of affordable housing options for Australian families, particularly those on low incomes. The data shows a cripplingly small portion of properties would be affordable for people relying on government payments, with virtually no houses available for anyone receiving Jobseeker, Youth Allowance or Single Parenting payments.

Rev Karen Kime’s Farewell

25 February 2021

In March, the Anglicare Executive Team and Anglicare’s Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group, hosted a formal farewell for Rev Karen Kime on the banks of Wagga Beach.

As Anglicare’s General Manager of Cultural Safety, Karen made an incredible contribution to our organisation to lead us in the development and implementation of Anglicare’s Reconciliation Action Plan – our formal commitment to a reconciled Australia.

Karen leaves a remarkable legacy at Anglicare but most importantly, has challenged and empowered us to continue on the journey of reconciliation.

Celebrating Bronnie

18 May 2020

Bronnie began volunteering at our Goulburn Early Childhood Centre when she was just 14 years old. Three times a week for 38 years, she provided morning tea for the children and educators to enjoy.

For all connected to the centre, Bronnie was a much-loved part of the team and her passing earlier this year from a genetic condition was heart-breaking.

To celebrate and remember Bronnie, children and educators at Goulburn Early Childhood Centre hosted a small morning tea (within health guidelines) during National Volunteers Week.

To honour Bronnie’s amazing contribution and loving service to the Centre and local children throughout her lifetime, a memorial bench was unveiled – painted in her favourite colour with a plaque that reads “in case you need a Bronnie cuddle”.

Volunteers Week Morning Tea

In celebration of National Volunteers Week, St Johns Hall was transformed to host a special morning tea to honour and celebrate Anglicare’s volunteers. The event was attended by more than 100 volunteers from a range of Anglicare services in Canberra including St John’s Care, Anglicare Retail and Disaster Recovery.

Guest speaker Virginia Haussegger, a renowned Australian journalist and academic advocate for gender equality, passionately spoke to Anglicare volunteers to encourage them and thank them for all they do to support essential services in the Canberra community. She emphasised how volunteers embody compassion and generosity and how the kindness of strangers is what brings strength to our community.

“What an absolute honour it has been to address Anglicare volunteers and staff. The love, care and dignity you give to every soul who walks through the door of your crisis centres day after day makes my heart sing! This is humanity at its best,” says Virginia.

In recognition of Anti Poverty Week, the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, reached out to Dave, OzHarvest Manager about helping people in need. Dave suggested the Governor General be part of their regular food delivery to St. John’s Care of the leftover fresh food and supplies that OzHarvest collects from local retailers. The Governor-General carried in a box of vegetables for the waiting cameras and presented medallions and a Christmas cake from Government House as a special gesture to mark the occasion.

Club 12/25 Graffiti Wall Launch

11 June 2017

Artists Tim Phibs and George Rose were selected as winners of In The City Canberra’s Graffiti Artwork Competition. Their amazing design painted at the skate park outside Anglicare’s Club 12/25 depicts flora and fauna native to the local area as well as an abstract approach to reflect the movement and flow of skate and BMX culture.

“The line work weaves in and through the local native flora and fauna – in a similar way to how someone moves around obstacles at a park with splashes of bright blue injecting energy and adding depth” says artist George Rose.

Residents in and around the Canberra suburb of Gordon can look forward to a greater level of community support with the launch of the Gordon Community Centre. Saturday 3 June marked the official launch of the centre which is a partnership between Anglicare and the Lanyon Valley Anglican Church. Community members, staff, volunteers and local politicians gathered to mark the occasion and celebrate what this new centre will mean for the community.

The new centre is the first of its kind that Anglicare has opened in the south of Canberra.

Anti Poverty Week Launch

07 October 2016

In partnership with YWCA, Anglicare hosted the Anti Poverty Week launch event. We heard from ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr, Jeremy Hanson MLA and Shane Rattenbury MLA about how we can work to reduce poverty in our community. Anglicare clients and friends shared their stories of exclusion and poverty to help us gain insight into the difficulties they face. Thank you to Oz Harvest for their exceptional catering for the event.
