Last week, Anchor was filled with Christmas magic as we hosted two very special celebrations for the children, young people and families in our Homelessness services and our Foster Care and Kinship Care programs.

These Christmas parties are always the highlight of our year. They’re a chance for the families supported by Anchor to come together, enjoy great food, share laughter, and spend some dedicated time with Santa.

Events like these simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of our community. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the organisations who helped bring the magic to life:

Venues:
Lilydale Bowling Club, Inflatable World Ringwood

Homelessness Christmas party food and activities:
Rapid Relief Team AU, Lilydale CFA Fire Brigade, Bunnings Warehouse Lilydale, Elf Twinkle Toes (Cirque Mystique), Yarra Ranges Community Toy Libraries, and Wonderific.

We are also deeply grateful to the funding partners who made these celebrations possible: Together Financial Services, Loan Market Rowville, Yarra Ranges Council, Foothills Foundation, and Barro Group.
