Anglicare Southern Queensland - Christmas 2023 page

The impact of the cost-of-living crisis is increasing and taking its toll on our most vulnerable community members, children. With costs continuing to rise, many of our 1,600 foster and kinship carers are feeling stretched. Spending on non-essentials is expected to drop, taking the ‘Merry’ out of Christmas for many of them. With your help and support, we can add a little hope for Queensland foster carers and children in their care, and create a Christmas that’s as bright as their future​​

Last year alone, Anglicare Southern Queensland supported 1,695 foster and kinship carers to provide 383,863 nights of care for children and young people. We believe that every child deserves a safe and supportive home, and we work tirelessly to match them with dedicated foster carers who can provide the love and stability they need. But we cannot do it alone. Your support is vital to ensuring that, together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of these children this Christmas.

Your support

With more children entering our programs, there is always more that can be done. Even a donation of $40 would be enough to give a child in foster care an extra special Christmas this year. A little can go a long way in turning a child’s future around. Every dollar brings us one step closer to our goal of providing loving and secure environments for all children who need them. It takes a village to raise a child, and you are a crucial part of that village. Your support means the world to us and, most importantly, to the children who are counting on us to make their dreams come true.​
