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, 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 fundraisers across NSW clocked up more than 3,000km together throughout the month — going the distance for country cancer patients. 🛣️
On behalf of our branch, a huge thank you to every fundraiser, donor and member of our community who helped us do the distance this August. 🫶
👉 Head to www.candothedistance.org.au, select our branch and make a donation.

You might be seeing Include a Charity Week popping up this week. But what does it actually mean? 🤔💚
Include a Charity Week is a national Australian campaign encouraging people to think about the causes they care about and consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will.
But what does leaving a gift in your Will actually involve? What can you leave? Does it have to be a large amount? And what about your loved ones?
Swipe through to learn more about gifts in Wills and how you can leave a lasting legacy for people affected by cancer in country NSW.

🔎 What do cancer specialists do every day to look after their own health?
We came across some interesting insights from three cancer specialists and thought they were worth sharing. While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, understanding the factors that can influence cancer risk can help us make informed choices about our health.
And if you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, Can Assist is here to help with practical and financial support to make accessing cancer care a little easier.

Every Can Assist branch has a story.
Meet Leanne. 👋 Leanne is the face of this year’s Can Do the Distance campaign. And just like so many of us, she’s doing the distance for someone she loves: her sister, Ellie.
Ellie was supported by Can Assist Harden and Young throughout her cancer journey, helping her and her family navigate the 5,000km they travelled for treatment. When Ellie’s cancer returned aggressively, she sadly passed away at just 27 years old.
👟This August, Leanne is walking 270km in Ellie’s memory, taking on 10km for every year of her sister’s life. Ellie was passionate about spreading the word about Can Assist so more country families could find the support they need, and find it earlier. Leanne is carrying that message forward with every kilometre.
Maybe you could be the face of next year’s Can Do the Distance campaign? Or perhaps you know someone whose story deserves to be shared?
There’s still time for our local community to get behind our branch and help raise funds to support people affected by cancer right here in our community. ❤️ Give back locally and donate to our branch today: www.candothedistance.org.au
