Thousands of people across our region are affected by the devastating bushfires experienced in the summer of 2020. As much of the world, and Australia, moves their focus toward the COVID-19 crisis, we continue to work in bushfire-affected communities to ensure people receive the support they need to recover and rebuild. The work that we’re undertaking has been made possible by funding from DSS and generous donations from community members and organisations around Australia (and abroad!). Our team is working with individuals, businesses and community groups in various ways to support recovery efforts. Anglicare Bushfire Recovery Assistance is available for FREE to people in the following areas: Eurobodalla Shire (South from Bateman’s Bay) Bega Valley Shire Queanbeyan-Palerang Snowy Valleys Snowy Monaro Please contact our Bushfire Recovery Coordinators today to discuss support options available to you.
