Blayney BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Blayney was formed in 2008. We are a small but hard working group of people who share a goal of assisting members of our community who are undertaking cancer treatment.
Catering for community events has been our main source of income and we hold an extremely successful Melbourne Cup Luncheon annually for our community to be involved with.
Areas Serviced: Blayney, Carcoar, Cowra, Forest Reefs, Hobbys Yards, Kings Plains, Lyndhurst, Manduarama, Millthorpe, Newbridge, Woodstock
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 Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.

This morning I had the pleasure of co judging the Inaugural Apple Bakeoff at the Regis office with Jan.
The challenge was taken on by all staff in a very competitive style. Jan and I had some tough decisions to make but the taste testing of each entry was amazing.
The catagories were Cake, Dessert, Pickles, Relishes, Baby food, Slice or Biscuit and Best in Show.
It was great to have the fun of tasting all the goodies and Jan and I both agreed on the Crumble Dessert as the Best in Show.
Thank you goes to the staff for inviting us along for the fun and sampling.
Our reward is a donation from Regis to Can Assist Blayney and to Blayney Woolcraft and Hobby. This will be greatly received and appreciated by both organisations. ... See MoreSee Less
