New Brisbane coordinator launches caring Christmas appeal
Rosies Brisbane Branch, supporting those who are marginalised within our community – especially those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or simply lonely, has launched its Christmas appeal today with a call out for caring volunteers and donations including presents.
Christmas can be one of the loneliest days of the year for many. Rosies will host a number of celebrations across various locations in Queensland. Christmas on the Street will be held on Monday, 21 December from 8.00pm at Emma Place, with another planned.
New Brisbane branch coordinator, Leigh Cusack, said Christmas is traditionally a time for family get-togethers and celebrations but it is also an opportunity to think about those less fortunate in our community. Leigh has been involved for Rosies as a volunteer and will use her broad range of professional experience and organisation skill to now coordinate branch activities.
