2023 Christmas Appeal for St Vinnies
Christmas is less than a month away, and as a Thomas Carr College community we rally to support those in need by running a Christmas Appeal that will support Vinnies at Hoppers Crossing North. Christmas a celebration of Jesus’ birth, and a time to make Christmas wishes and gift-giving. Over the last year, the cost-of-living crisis has become increasingly dire as prices continue to soar and inflation is at some of the highest levels. It's hitting families and other vulnerable members of our community incredibly hard. Many are experiencing poverty and struggling to keep a roof over their heads. As the crisis deepens, so does their desperation. More and more people are so desperate to survive, they just don’t have the resources to think about the next meal let alone Christmas. How can they begin to dream of buying the little extras that make Christmas so special when they can’t even afford to pay the bills? Together we can donate and make Christmas wishes come true.
CBCA NSW Branch donations
Help us to provide remote, regional and disadvantaged schools with a set of the CBCA Book of the Year shortlisted books. Our plan is to supply a set of the shortlisted books, teacher's notes, a mentor and an opportunity for the children to meet online with one of our member author/illustrators. Our target is schools who otherwise would not be able to afford the books. Think of small schools with only a handful of students, or schools who just don't have the funds to stretch this far. The teacher will choose the appropriate category from the CBCA Book of the Year that best suits the students. Support materials will focus on critical evaluation of quality literature. It is anticipated that participation in CBCA 'shadow judging' will also be an outcome. All funds will be spent on the books, supporting resources, author/illustrator fees and postage.

Centre for Practical Spirituality - New Farm
We offer experiential & educative pathways for mindful & soulful discovery, open to the universal presence of God. We have a range of friends & partnerships in the community. While our heritage is Christian it is an eclectic heritage—our deepest agreement is on the importance of seeking wisdom in our difference. Diversity enlivens our exploration of spirituality & we are proud that our membership & programs include people of many faiths & no faith. Australians express spirituality in a variety of ways so we are open to difference & have wisdom to learn from experiences that are different from our own. Spirituality can be explored in the depth & fullness of life so we apply critical intelligence to spiritual seeking. Spirituality is not religion so we holistically integrate spirituality into a wide range of human activities. Religious traditions have guided people for millennia so we can learn from & partner with traditional institutions while having courage to seek beyond their bounds
Joey's Explorers Dalby
Joey’s Explorers is a non-profit activity of St Joseph’s Parish, Dalby, and have been operating since 2021. We aim to provide free bus trips to local community members who don’t have the means or opportunity to socialise with others. Our day bus trips travel locally and to regional areas of interest. Your donation will directly contribute to Joey’s Explorer’s operating costs. Our main costs are bus registration, insurance, servicing, fuel, and food and drink provision. Our costs aren’t huge, but they do require continual fundraising from our volunteers to provide our free service to the community. In today’s world of higher living costs, fundraising is becoming more difficult. facebook.com/joeysexplorers
North Fremantle Primary School P&C Read-a-Thon
The North Fremantle Primary School Read-a-Thon runs from 1 July to 21 August. The Read-a-Thon encourages students and family members to read, and raises funds for the P&C to purchase new iPads for the school. Our Read-a-Thon is based on the number of pages a participant reads. Make a pledge one of two ways, either by pledging a flat amount, for example $20 no matter how many pages are read, and pay in cash to the participant or via trybooking at any time; or pledge an amount for total pages read using the participant's pledge form. For example, the participant reads 500 pages over the span of the Read-a-Thon. If you pledge 5 cents per page, you owe .05 x 500 = $25. The participant will notify you how much you owe at the end of the Read-a-Thon. Pay in cash to the participant or via trybooking. All pledges must be paid by end of August. Any questions, click the CONTACT button below. Thank you for your generous support of this great initiative.
