EVENTS

The House of Welcome wishes to acknowledge the generous continuing support of

Interknit and the Red Lion.

When you support these our sponsors, either by shouting yourself quality knitwear at INTERKNIT, or

enjoying a meal in the ambience of the RED LION, you are also supporting the most vulnerable members

of our community.

Please patronise those who help others.

URGENT CALL OUT

Dear Friends and Supporters

As you know, the House supports families in distress, the homeless, refugees, people seeking asylum and any

vulnerable people in our community.

In the past we have raised the funds for this work by holding events such as sausage sizzles, our Soup &

Sandwich Luncheon at Nazareth House and our annual Garden Party in November.

In these difficult days of Covid 19 such gatherings are not possible, yet people must still eat and pay their bills.

Therefore, we are asking our supporters to donate what they can to enable us to continue providing these

essential services.

We understand that many of you are facing financial hardship too. However, for those who are able to donate,

whatever you can afford to give, whether a one-off contribution or regular donation will be much appreciated.

If we could find one hundred people able to donate $10 per month, we would be able to

operate comfortably. Could you be one?

The House is a registered charity and your donations are tax deductible. No monies are lost in administration

costs. The House of Welcome is operated entirely by volunteers and all donations go directly to those in need.

We desperately need extra funds to see us through these difficult days.

To make a single payment at any time, our bank account details are:

Account Name: Karibu

BSB: 633 108

Account No: 1440 44 963

For those who might like to make a regular monthly contribution (no amount is too small) please contact us -

there is a form to be organised.

For any further information please feel free to contact us by phone or email:
