Armidale BRANCH

Hunter New England Region

Assisting our community, locally…

ABOUT US

Can Assist Armidale was formed in 2000. The active membership base raises funds to provide timely and much needed financial assistance to people in our local community who are undergoing cancer treatment. The branch works closely with the Hunter New England Health social workers and Aboriginal support workers.

Areas Serviced: Aberfoyle, Abington, Acacia Park, Argyle, Armidale, Ben Venue, Bona Vista, Boorolong, Castle Doyle, Commissioners Waters, Dangarsleigh, Donald Creek, Dumaresq, Duval, East Armidale, Enmore, Hillgrove, Invergowrie, Jeogla, Kellys Plains, Lyndhurst, Madgwick, Metz, Newling, North Hill, Puddledock, Saumarez, Saumarez Ponds, Soudan Heights, South Hill, St Patricks, Thalgarrah, Tilbuster, Wards Mistake, West Armidale, Wollomombi, Wongwibinda

Financial Assistance

We understand that families struggle to cope with a reduced income as a result of a cancer diagnosis and that they face increased expenses from travel, accommodation and medical costs.

Our Supporters

Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.

  • New England Garden Festival
  • Regional Australia Bank

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the tireless workers ❤️

Great to see Can Assist receive this award. The members have volunteered many hours. They are committed to our year of advocacy by ensuring more people in the community are aware of Can Assist’s willingness to provide financial assistance to cancer patients in need.
