The Anglican Aid Board and staﬀ have worked very hard to ensure the faithful stewardship and management of funds and projects. We work almost exclusively with indigenous Christian leadership who are members of the communities that they care for and serve. We avoid working with or establishing our own introduced middle management structure which, by its very nature, reduces levels of eﬃciency and imposes a leadership that has less understanding of local issues.

Samaritana undertakes a “Friday outreach” to women involved in prostitution. In Cubao area of Quezon City, the emphasis is both on making new contacts and reviving older ones. Samaritana’s staﬀ explain: “The women visited here work directly on the streets, not in bars. It is easier to talk to them, although they are the most vulnerable group of women contacted. They tend to be older than the women who work in the bars and often have health issues. “Our outreach co-ordinator is looking at ways to augment their incomes during the day by setting up a card production area in a rented room.”

training in areas such as food preparation and urban Samaritana is also working with a new partner organisation, farming. Emotional and social security is achieved through Destiny Rescue, to try to reach minors involved in individual and group counselling sessions and leadership prostitution.

Andrew (not real name) has been attending the Hub of Hope for about two years. Andrew is in his late 50s and has lived with alcohol addiction for many years. This addiction has had a negative impact on his life, contributing to family breakdown, separation, dependency, physical illness and isolation. Andrew moved into a local boarding house in 2013 and soon attended the free BBQ lunch at the Hub of Hope.

From 2014, Andrew has increased his attendance to include participating in the Bible study most weeks as well as regularly attending the All Saints’ Anglican Church 6pm evening service. Andrew is a regular member of the Hub of Hope and volunteers in the community garden, cleaning and assists with property maintenance at times. The Hub of Hope, Centrelink and emergency food services, provide Andrew with access to basic services and assistance that he would not normally have close at hand. Due to his alcoholism, Andrew struggles at times to make ends meet and relies on our services at the Hub, to lend him a hand to make it through those tough times.

Break the Cycle Glenquarie Anglican and Development Order (WDO) Scheme which provides unpaid work and life skills courses to eligible people who have unpaid fines outstanding. This is one of many activities supported through Anglican Aid’s partnership with Glenquarie Parish, which is able to employ a Community Chaplain. Administered in partnership with NSW Police, State Debt Recovery Office, Legal Aid NSW and the Aboriginal Legal Service, WDOs allow eligible people to settle fines by undertaking unpaid work, counselling, courses or treatment programs. Unpaid fines lead to debt stress, compounding disadvantage and ultimately to loss of driver’s licence. Break the Cycle provides an opportunity for vulnerable people in the community to develop skills, engage with support services and receive treatment for addictions and other personal difficulties and, for many, while reducing their fines. The community chaplain has managed 32 active WDOs worth $192,227.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

MEMBERS’ DECLARATION

OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT

Whilst a 30% increase in donations in the three funds to $4,138,971compared to the previous year would be seen as a good result in most agencies reliant on donor revenue, it is humbling to be reminded that this increase in revenue was as a result of the various crises Anglican Aid sought to respond to during the year. This result is a testimony to the generosity of God’s people who have shown the heart of Jesus in responding to the urgent needs of people, either persecuted or in need due to natural disasters.

The Members of the Archbishop of Sydney’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund Management Committee declare that the ﬁnancial statements and notes set out on pages 30 to 32:

Our fundraising and administration costs have been maintained at levels which allow 80 cents of each dollar received to be applied directly to the benefit of beneficiaries. During the year we have upgraded our website and improved a number of systems to ensure we continue to operate efficiently. We thank all our supporters and ask that you thank God for his generosity to us and pray for the ongoing work you read in this report.

In the Members’ opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the organisation will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Members:
