24.01.2022 This #GivingTuesday we're asking for donations to our #SchoolCosts campaign. From our research earlier in the year we know that over half the parents accessing ...agency services said their child had been negatively impacted by unaffordable school costs. Kids didn't have the right uniforms, books, or devices and were missing out because of it. November-February is the peak time for families to suffer from unaffordable school costs. This is especially hard with the holidays coming up. If you can, please donate to help us cover these costs for families in need: https://www.givenow.com.au/schoolcosts We know times are tough - if you're unable to donate, please share this post and spread the word.

11.01.2022 Over the weekend the Victorian Government announced a whopping $5.3 billion investment to #BuildSocialHousing and affordable housing over the next four years. This will include 9,300 new social housing homes and 2,900 new affordable and low-cost homes. This is great news and a game-changer! It will make the world of difference to thousands of people, freeing up funds for food, medicine, bills, and children’s education costs. It will reduce homelessness and enable people to have a stable home base from where they can build a life. We’ve been fighting for this type of investment for some time so thanks to everyone who has been contacting politicians and joining in campaign activities! #socialhousing
