25.01.2022 A while ago we put the call out for a bike trailer to help out a community member. The call was answered, and we were able to pass on the bike trailer to someone who really needed it - but check out the passenger! This gorgeous old pup hopped straight up into the trailer and was very happy with the top class ride! Another win for our community, and an opportunity to say thanks again to all the wonderful people who support us and donate to us as that's what keeps the whole thing running! *We always seek permission before we share photos :)

23.01.2022 This DHHS page provides information about and links to the financial support available to people and businesses affected by coronavirus (COVID-19).

21.01.2022 If you've been affected by Covid as a consumer in terms of things such as rental arrangements, refunds and scams try checking out the Consumer Affairs Victoria website. CAV has information and assistance on a range of Covid-related issues.

15.01.2022 In the midst of another busy day we had some moments that made our day. A couple come to our gate and asked if they could speak to the CEO, he went out and they got quite emotional, they just wanted to say thank you and wanted us to know how much they appreciated all the support they had been given and that they think our volunteers are wonderful. They have had a very tough year and wanted to make the point how much it meant to them not to feel judged. A little later another client rang, she said much the same and wanted us to know how she had always been treated with the utmost respect. We always hope that we do these things, show respect and be non-judgmental, and to hear clients say it is something incredibly special. In a tough year our staff & volunteers have been fabulous, we cannot thank them enough

14.01.2022 What a fabulous effort by the wonderful students of St Josephs Primary School in Sorrento - their Kick-in-a-Can casual day gathered this huge haul which will go out to those in need in our community. Thank you St Joeys!!!

13.01.2022 Today is the National Day of Action to 'Raise the Rate for Good'. At Southern Peninsula Community Support we know how difficult it is to get by on payments like Jobseeker; over winter we see people having to choose between heating their house or putting food on table - no one in this country should have to choose between heating or eating. How can we expect people to gain confidence and be ready to look for a job (when there are jobs again!) if they have been ground down by trying to get by on a less than $50 a day, or even worse, if they have become homeless because they can't afford their rent? If you would like to see change, please take action at the link. #RaisetheRate

13.01.2022 A few Christmas Hampers are still available, order Monday or Tuesday to make sure you're on the list!

13.01.2022 It's NAIDOC week 2020 and all Australians are invited to embrace the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. It’s about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history. We want all Australians to celebrate that we have the oldest continuing cultures on the planet and to recognise that sovereignty over these lands was never ceded.

09.01.2022 Here at Southern Peninsula Community Support we see people all the time struggling to cover the costs of the most basic needs in life - food, rent, school costs, petrol, bills. The Coronavirus supplement has given many people a breather, a chance to catch up and not have to live with constant anxiety about how they'll manage to pay their next rent or bills. We can't go back to the old rate of Newstart, it wasn't enough then and it certainly won't be enough now. Click the link to have a postcard with your message sent to those making the decisions!

05.01.2022 We had a visit today from Connie and Craig, they wanted to know what we needed in the pantry, so we told them - and look what happened! They took our list to the local supermarket and stocked up - what a pair of legends, a huge thank you to you both for your wonderful support!
