 | Help shine a light on mental health this holiday season |
|
Lifeline currently receives a call for help every 30 seconds.
The holidays are a time for joy, for celebration, for togetherness. But for some this time of year can be challenging and will feel different as COVID-19 continues to affect us all in some way. This year Lifeline are anticipating an increase in the demand for their support services.
The ABC NSW Gives Appeal needs your help to support the fantastic work of Lifeline Australia. To get involved, donate to the appeal now and next Thursday 2 December, tune in to ABC Radio Sydney on 702AM, online or via the ABC listen app as we dig deep to raise money for Lifeline’s lifesaving support services and shine a light on mental health.
Here's all the details on how you can be part of this year’s appeal and how to donate. |
