Get Involved There are a number of ways you can support Jacaranda Cottage: 1. Financially We are partially funded by the government but rely on the generosity of people in the community to enable us to continue our work. You can make a one off donation or choose to become a regular giver and donate on a monthly basis. All donations made to Jacaranda Cottage are tax deductible. Regular givers receive a monthly newsletter to hear about how their support is making a difference to lives of young women. Please click "Donate" below if you would like to support Jacaranda financially. Make sure you select "Jacaranda Cottage" under "giving for" on the donation page. DONATE 2. Being a voice Sign up to receive our bimonthly newsletter and talk to those around you about the issues our young women are facing. The more people are aware of the issues at hand, the more likely something can be done about it. 3. Volunteer Do you have a particular skill you can share with the residents of Jacaranda? We are looking for people with expertise in the area of living skills, such as finances; cooking; health and fitness; self esteem; communication skills; sewing; art; craft; drug and alcohol; job seeking skills, or household maintenance. Email us with an overview of your qualifications or experience; if your skills suit our needs we will arrange an interview and some training before presenting to the residents. 4. Attend Events Your attendance at our fundraising events is a simple way to support us. When lots of people come together, just a small contribution from each person adds up to be a significant amount to make a difference at Jacaranda. Events we have run include a Benefit Dinner, High Tea, cupcake stall at the Cook Community Classic and a Christmas gift tree. Sign up to receive our bimonthly newsletter to keep you up to date with our upcoming events. You can also see the events section of our website to view details of upcoming events.
