GENERAL NOTICES
BUY-A-BRICK FOR MARYMEAD
Marymead needs our help in raising $1.3 million to construct two of three Care Cottages by buying a brick, or two or more!
Marymead's all new Care Cottages will provide much needed short-term accommodation for children and families across the ACT and regional NSW. The needs of the children will vary but will include emergency & crisis accommodation for vulnerable children, respite accommodation for young people with disabilities & a place to call home, even for a short period for those children who have recently left hospital.
