Australian Giving Week 2009 will take place around the country from 29 November – 5 December.
The aim of this annual event is to focus attention on the many ways that individuals, families, businesses, and groups can make a difference to the community in the lead-up to Christmas.
It's about helping people take some small, simple steps that open the way for a better supported, more inclusive, more vibrant community – not just during the Christmas period but all year long as well.
