We are fortunate to have so many great volunteers in our Anglican Care facilities - like Gwenda, who has volunteered at Storm Village for 20 years. The volunteers (pictured) are all long-serving and provide valuable help with craft, companionship, shopping trips, and bus outings. Some of our leaders presented certificates and shared morning tea with these wonderful people as a small token of our appreciation.

NSW Senior Australian of the Year Dr John Ward is involved in a partnership with Anglican Care that may help reduce one of the most rapidly growing groups of homeless people in the state - women over the age of 55. The Housing for Older Persons Project (HOPP) has a number of goals, including increasing the range of housing options in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

This Sunday will mark the start of NAIDOC Week (7-14 July). Celebrations are being organised across the country to acknowledge the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. An Ecumenical prayer service is taking place at Christ Church Cathedral from 1.45pm. The service will include traditional dancers from Manning Valley Anglican College, while prayers and songs will be focused on Aboriginal themes. There are many other events and activities throughout the week. See what’s happening in our flyer below.

Meet 'Our People' in the latest edition of Encounter magazine. Inside the edition, Bishop Peter asks us to reflect on what kind of person we want to be.

Today is World Environment Day. It's the United Nations flagship day for encouraging global awareness and action to protect the environment. This year's World Environment Day campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience under the slogan “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration.” Newcastle Anglican takes seriously its role in protecting and caring for Earth, our planet and home. Many diocesan entities have adopted policies and practices to reduce harm, waste or pollution. This includes fossil fuel investment divestment, eliminating disposable cups at morning tea, and joining local environment groups in bush care, land care, community gardens and op shops to combat fast fashion.
