About Mayor’s Christmas Appeal
The Mayor’s Christmas Appeal has been assisting thousands of local families and individuals in need for more than 35 years.
It is always important to look after people in our community and make sure that nobody is left behind at what can be a challenging time of year for some.
The festive season is a time to bring everybody together and to highlight our collective strength and resilience as a community.
In 2023, the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal will raise funds to help people experiencing financial hardship over the Christmas period due to domestic and family violence.
Recipient Organisations
In 2023, the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal invited local community organisations to apply to receive funds from the Appeal. A requirement was that the recipient organisations must support people experiencing financial hardship over the Christmas period due to domestic and family violence.
In the spirit of giving, close to $100,000 is being donated from the 2023 Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.
The recipient organisations are:
Sera's Women's Shelter
North Queensland Combined Women's Services Inc (The Women's Centre)
Townsville Christian Life Centre T/A Life Church Townsville
Family Inclusion Network Queensland (Townsville) Incorporated
North Queensland Women's Legal Service
Family Emergency Accommodation Townsville Inc.
