Need ideas for getting into the Christmas spirit? Supporting a charity connects work teams with a common festive focus – whether supporting students in need, refugees, people without homes or affected by bushfires, or those in need further afield.
Work areas could collect non-perishable food, gifts or set up a money tin for cash donations to be sent to a chosen charity. Some ideas can be found at the links below:
- Food Bank – fighting hunger by sourcing food for people in need
- Giving to Flinders
- Research
- Scholarships Eg Indigenous, rural and remote, women
- Creativity and culture
- Innovation and enterprise
- Red Cross Lifeblood – join the team of Flinders blood donors for the Tertiary Blood Challenge
- Flinders Foundation – supporting medical research and patient care
- Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) – providing emergency, independent, medical humanitarian assistance to people living in extreme circumstances
- Australian Red Cross – supporting disaster relief and recovery
- RSPCA – making a lifesaving difference for animals
- Hutt St Centre – helping end homelessness
Each month, Flinders’ Health and Wellbeing Program shares an initiative that supports a holistic approach to safety, health and wellbeing, aimed at increasing awareness of health and wellbeing issues, choices and behaviours. The theme for December is ‘The joy of giving.’
