Donations directly to people who need it

Remember ABC Gives? You donated almost $28,000 to our service users – so kind! We promised to donate the money directly to people who need it.

Elaine is one house proud lady, but recently lost her yard tools, making it hard to keep her yard tidy and her tenancy safe.

Through our Stronger Homes program in Katherine we used ABC Gives donations to buy her a whipper snipper and now her yard looks just the way she likes it.

ABC Gives is a national appeal run by ABC Radio every year in November. In 2023 we were chosen as the focus organisation for the NT. Nationally ABC Gives raised $1.4 million for charities helping those most affected by a rise in the cost of living. In the NT we raised $27,533.

We told generous donors their money would go directly into bolstering four program areas at Anglicare NT: homelessness in Katherine, Aged Care in East Arnhem Land, young parent support in Darwin through our Pandanus program and newly released prisoner support in Alice Springs though our OutCARE program.
