Bridging the Gap - Breaking the Cycle
ABOUT US
St John’s Care aims to bridge the gap and break the cycle of disadvantage, isolation, and economic hardship with compassion, advocacy, respect, and encouragement through the provision of emergency relief and other programs.
St John’s Care is:
-
A parish-based Anglican organisation working in partnership with Anglicare
-
A recognised emergency relief provider in the ACT region
-
Funded primarily through donations from community and Church groups, businesses, and individuals
-
Proudly staffed by both volunteers and professionals
-
Committed to the flexibility required to meet the individual needs of clients
Unlike large national charities, St John’s Care receives no ACT government support. It reflects Christianity, arguably at its best, by doing.
