As many of you may already know, we have recently experienced a series of senseless acts of vandalism over the Christmas period. This has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone involved—our staff, our volunteers, and the wider community we are here to support.
These acts have left us reeling. What we do here is built on trust, love, and a shared commitment to making our community a better place. To see that work disrupted in such a thoughtless way has been heartbreaking.
But amidst the pain and frustration, we’ve been reminded of something far more powerful: the incredible kindness and generosity of our community. The messages of support we’ve received, the offers to help, and the donations—both big and small—have brought us so much hope during this dark time. Your words and actions remind us why we do what we do. They’ve proven that love and care will always outweigh harm and destruction.
We have been blown away by the amount you have raised for us via Gofundme, with your continued support we will be able to raise enough to install new windows and get our wonderful work placement program back up and running, which has become a lifeline for so many.
To everyone who has reached out, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness means more than we can say. It’s because of you that we remain determined to rebuild, recover, and return to serving the community as soon as we possibly can. In the mean time we encourage you all to look out for each other and continue being kind, it really goes a long way.
