UPDATE ON FUNDRAISING AS AT 2ND MARCH 2023
We are excited to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the NSW State Government for $65,000. This means that, together with the money accumulated in our Taree North Rotary account ($23,003.38) and our online donations at Sleepbus.org ($16,279) we are at our target! This is fantastic news and we are very grateful to all our donors for their generosity, all the businesses who have assisted us and to Stephen Bromhead MP for Myall Lakes in NSW for his help in securing the remainder of the much-needed funds.
UPDATE FROM OCTOBER 2022
We now have $15,735 in our Bed Inn Bus account at Sleepbus, about $700 in a Rotary Australia World Community Services account, and $18,183.18 in a Rotary Club of North Taree account at Westpac dedicated to the Manning Homeless Action Group Bed Inn Bus campaign.
TOTAL = $34,618.18
If you haven’t donated before, please do so now. Every little helps.
If you have donated before, please think about donating again.
We have a fundraising Country and Western dance coming up on SATURDAY 5th NOVEMBER 2022 at Lansdowne Hall at 8pm. “A Touch of Country” is the excellent band.
We shall also be running a new raffle after Christmas to be drawn at the Rotary Bookshed at Taree Showground on Saturday 15th April 2023.
Fundraising Update as at 14th June 2022
We have raised $12,988 from donations direct into our Bed Inn Bus account at Sleepbus. A further $11,730.05 is in a bank account of the Rotary Club of North Taree. This club is very supportive and has contributed $4000 from a grant. Five local Lions Clubs have each donated $1000. These sums are in the Rotary account. We paid in another $908 today. Another Rotary account holds over $500 of our money and we hold a small cash float.Thank you to my Sponsors

This is my second donation. I am sad that to date not enough people in the Manning have thought this to be important. I think it is desperately needed and more so as we approach winter.

There is a great need in the Manning for facilities for homeless men. Women are catered for with shelters, men are not.
