“Anglicare has a mission. It’s about delivering on the things we need to make Tasmania better, to bring about fullness of life for all people.
Some of my favourite conversations are with Tasmanians whose lives have been improved by the work of Anglicare. This year I met young people thrilled to be the first tenants of Eveline House, a new youth facility in the North West providing affordable accommodation and support for education and training. Older Tasmanians told me how regular home visits from Anglicare were supporting their health and independence. And people said they felt hopeful about the future because Anglicare’s financial counsellors had helped them to manage their debt.
These are just some of the many human stories behind the figures contained in this Annual Report. At Anglicare, we are committed to using resources wisely and continuing to improve our services.
We are part of the Tasmanian community, with a dedicated team and offices state-wide – in Hobart, Glenorchy, Sorell, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, St Helens and Zeehan – and workers out on the road delivering outreach and practical support.”
