18.01.2022 Coast Shelter has had an amazing response to our Santa’s Shelter Christmas Appeal. Once again the generosity of our community has allowed us to provide Christmas gifts to those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. It is such a rewarding experience to see the look of relief when we are able to hand over a gift that a parent can give to their child or the excitement of an adult or young person who might otherwise have missed out on the spirit of Christmas this year. Thank you to our corporate sponsors, community groups and individuals for your generosity and kindness. Warm regards, Interim CEO, Jennifer Eddy

13.01.2022 #FeelGoodFriday is dedicated to the Class of 2020 graduating from our Step Forward Program. Coast Shelter partners with Central Coast Community College for a 9-week course designed to reintroduce young people to the value of study and education. The students gain qualifications that increase their eligibility for employment like Barista training, RSA, RCG and First Aid; while also exploring real world applications like preparing for the rental market, maintaining a rental pr...operty, budgeting, writing resumes, cover letters and other documents. Coast Shelter looks forward to Step Forward continuing to grow and being available for more young people, as a stepping stone into their future. Some feedback from our students - I love Step Forward and wish it was 5 days a week. #Classof2020
