Don't need a beanie?
You can still support local cancer patients and their families by making a donation today.
Cancer patients across NSW need your help now more than ever. They need your help to get their treatment. They need your help so they can access emotional support from trained counsellors, so they can get clear information about their diagnoses, and more than ever, they need your help so they can access emergency financial payments.
With your support today, we will overcome this current crisis and together, we will ensure cancer patients across NSW continue to get the help they need, when they need it.
Thank you for your generosity and ongoing support
How we put your funds to work on the Central Coast
With your help, here's how we helped the Central Coast community last year.
Central Coast Financial Assistance & Home Help
These services provide assistance in the way of financial grants for everyday essentials such as unpaid bills, household cleaning and gardening to help cancer patients and their families manage their immediate financial situation. From July 2019 until March 2020 we have been able to support 38 families to a total value of $12,937.
Central Coast Meal Service
This one-off meal service provides over a week's worth of meals to patients and their families and is valued at approximately $150 per person. Last year, we provided over $13,000 worth of meals for people affected by cancer and their families in our community.
Financial Planning, Legal & Workplace Small Business Referrals
We linked people affected by cancer with volunteer professionals through our Financial Planning, Legal & Workplace Small Business Referrals. These professionals offered free advice and financial counselling to help patients with managing debit, budgeting, other financial issues and in some cases assisting with debit waivers.
Patient Headwear
Last year, our lovely volunteer sewers provided over 1,200 headwear pieces, 202 drainage bags and 150 scan bags to cancer patients.
