Council continues to support those in our community who are severely impacted by the rising cost of living.
This month marks the first anniversary of Council’s Anti-Poverty Strategy. The strategy acknowledges that poverty is an issue for many residents in our city, and highlights how we can work together to address the causes of poverty and implement practical solutions.
Over the past year many not-for-profit organisations, community groups, church groups and an army of volunteers have been working to address poverty. Council would like to thank those who have shown great compassion to our community through the delivery of emergency relief, material aid, homelessness services, case management support, education and offered a warm place for those most vulnerable to take shelter.
Council will host an event to highlight practical things to do to reduce costs in your home. The event will be held at the Springvale Community Hub on Friday 27 October, from 3pm–6pm.
