Patrons’ funds are used on a case-by-case basis to pay for individuals’ specific and immediate needs through the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre (located opposite New Farm Park) and other agencies throughout the New Farm Peninsula.

This is done in a variety of ways such as: 

• Assisting with one-off low cost rent shortfalls to prevent people losing their home and entering the cycle of homelessness
• Buying an essential item such as a fridge (which allows affordable eating) for homeless people moving into accommodation
• Providing emergency accommodation for individuals at hostels or rehabilitation centres
• Helping people get back on their feet, for example, by paying for transport to where they have family support or buying a tank of petrol to enable them to earn money
• Supporting yoga and art programs at the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre

Your fully tax-deductible donation of $1,000 will directly support vulnerable people in your community. When you become a Patron you can meet and network with interesting and like-minded individuals and business people from your community at relaxed functions twice a year and your contribution will be acknowledged on our website and through our networks.
