3rd National Homelessness Forum

3rd National Homelessness Conference

The 3rd National Homelessness Forum 2021 takes place 27th – 29th April. The National Homelessness Forum is a hybrid event hosted both in-person from Perth and live-streamed. You can follow the event with hashtag #NationalHomelessnessForum2021.

Homelessness is increasing, in fact it has increased 13.7% in the past five years and it is expected to rise further as a result of the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given this fact, it has never been a more critical time for Australia to put homelessness at the top of the political agenda.

Take a look at the National Homelessness Form 2021 for more information a full list of key speakers, agenda, workshops and registration.

Team BA Christmas Party 2020

After a rollercoaster year and being unsure just how ‘normal’ Christmas 2020 could be. The team from Burdekin did manage to enjoy some of the festive frivolities. Here are a few photos of our wonderful team.

Team Burdekin enjoying their first time hanging out together

It is extremely important to recognise and celebrate our staff’s work, especially this year when it was impossible to spend significant time together and everybody just had to get on with things. The Christmas party was the very first time team Northern Beaches and Inner West got together! It was great to put faces to names and the atmosphere was great.

It was great to relax and get to know each other. The first in what will hopefully be many to come.

Merry Christmas…

And thank you for your support in 2020.

We want to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This past year was special for all of us, in part due to Covid-19 and in part due to the expansion of our services into the Inner West, Eastern and South East Sydney. We were busy and all for the right reasons!

We have so many people to thank for their support and guidance. Particular thanks go to our Board made up of dedicated volunteers, supporters from all levels of Government, members of our business community, philanthropic organisations providing money for special projects and all the wonderful, generous individuals we come across and who support us throughout the year. And last but not least, the young people in our care who we build relationships with. We appreciate you, every single one of you. We see you, we hear you and we celebrate your achievements with you.

We wish you all the very best for Christmas and look forward to spending 2021 with you.

Annual Charity Golf Day 2020 photos. See what it was all about!

Charity Golf NSW

Despite the shut downs, cancellations and world events of late, we were thrilled to host our Annual Charity Golf Event at Cromer Golf Club in Sydney – this time on the 8th of September instead of the usual May date.

The event was a sell-out.

Thanks to new and old partners and friends (and maybe a little bit due to COVID-19 social distancing rules) we sold out this year. We welcomed back many of our old friends, made some new friends and enjoyed plenty of friendly rivalry. Guests enjoyed mingling with some of the Manly Sea Eagles and Manly Warringah District Cricket Club players. And all for a good cause.

Take a look at the action in our photos from the day
