We have launched our Christmas Wishing Trees appeal for the 2024 festive season. This year we are going to be supporting more children and young people across Bathurst, Orange and surrounding areas than before. If you are able to embrace the spirit of giving and are able to support our appeal, we have a number of ways which you can help make Christmas a little brighter for a child or young person who are at risk of homelessness, or are unlikely to receive a gift for Christmas.
How can you contribute?

- Veritas House, 29-31 Sale Street,Orange

- Veritas House, 96 Bentinck Street, Bathurst

- Select one (or more) gift cards from the list to ensure that the young person receives the gift card of their choice.
- Make a tax deductible donation via our donation page.
“The local community continues to stagger us with their generosity, even with the cost of living crisis in our midst. We are so grateful for the ongoing support we receive from businesses and individuals alike.
Christmas is a time of year which is difficult for cohorts we support, but with the wishing trees gifts and gift cards, we hope that the children and young people in our service are able to be excited about the festive season”.
