Volunteers are central to key government priorities and the Society’s work, particularly support for families such as food relief. While this year’s Budget mentions volunteering, it lacks a strategic, whole-of-government approach to resourcing and supporting volunteering in Australia

Volunteer driven organisations like the St Vincent de Paul Society are under immense pressure. The cost-of-living crisis has increased demand for our services by between 15 to 40% and put an upward pressure on our operating costs.

We join Volunteering Australia’s call to Government for increased resourcing to implement Australia’s National Strategy for Volunteering.

You Know What Awaits
All around us, people are concerned with things that don't matter in the light of eternity. They are more concerned with what they will have for dinner than they are about where they will spend eternity. God isn't in their thoughts. They have no concept of the eternal. But you do. You know what awaits them. So, take the initiative. Look into eternity. This is the spirit of, "We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary; but the things which are not seen are eternal."(2 Corinthians 4:18) Commit your way to our immortal and invisible Creator, and then watch Him faithfully direct your paths. Plead with Him for divine encounterspeople that He supernaturally puts into your path. Do this, and do it today.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

Great story. Why doesn’t it have a 1000 likes and shares @abccanberra this is what sports should promote rather than the hype that normally follows so-called football heroes.
A team of eight street soccer players, brought together by backgrounds in homelessness and disadvantage, will represent Australia at the 2023 Homeless World Cup. Among them is Caity, the only Canberran, and the only woman on the team.
