Fletcher Street Cottage in need of funding

▶ Continued from page 1 to step in and help bridge the gap.

They’re hoping that the increased awareness and publicity brought by homelessness week – commencing this coming Monday (August 7) – will inspire locals to dig deep.

‘We’re calling on the generosity and compassion of our community to help us bridge the funding gap,’ said Kate

Love, Acting Manager.

‘Together, we can ensure that the most vulnerable among us have access to the support and care they need to overcome their challenges and thrive.’

In the last year, Fletcher Street Cottage says it has provided over 10,500 breakfasts, 5,000 showers and laundry washes, and 2,600 support appointments with its team of Community

Support Workers. These appointments included the provision of emergency relief, information, referrals and advocacy. To donate, or support Fletcher Street Cottage, visit www.fletcherstreetcottage.com.au.
