Disaster response and recovery

Let’s help people get back on their feet after a disaster

I’m fundraising for Red Cross to ensure they can be there for people when the worst happens in Australia. Dealing with an emergency can be stressful and exhausting, and recovering from a disaster is a complex process that may take months, even years to overcome. Red Cross supports people through their recovery by being there to provide practical and emotional support and information.

Helping people who have been affected by disasters is really important to me and I’d love your support. Please help me by donating to my fundraising page.

Thanks!

Rebus Theatre - Project Alchemy

These funds were raised as part of Rebus Theatre's Project Alchemy, a cross-disciplinary community arts project for communities affected by the Black Summer Bushfires. Project Alchemy enabled practising artists from regions directly impacted by the Black Summer Bushfires to come together in two artist retreats to share skills, rebuild their practice and return to their own communities to lead community projects employing the arts to help repair, reconnect and celebrate their community. Project Alchemy is made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government for the Black Summer Bushfire Grant Program. Rebus is also supported by Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres and the ACT Government.
