Orange BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Orange was formed in 1956. The branch is dedicated to supporting anyone in our community affected by cancer. We understand that following a cancer diagnosis, families can struggle with associated costs. By keeping the money we raise locally, it stays local, so we can help with direct financial support when needed most.
Local community support is available and we cover accommodation costs when the need arises to travel for treatment or doctor’s appointments. We can assist with information on transport services delivering patients to treatment, free will service by a local solicitor or a lawn mowing service. We also sponsor the Orange Wig library.

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 supporters both from within the community and further afield. We thank them for their contribution.

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

👟 What if 30 people from our community joined Can Do the Distance?
If each person raised just $400 (that's only 10 donations of $40), together we could raise $12,000 to help local people facing cancer through our Can Assist branch.
🫂 That's the power of our community coming together.
This August, we're inviting our community to take on Can Do the Distance. Can Assist's month-long walking challenge that helps local people with the everyday costs of cancer treatment. You don't have to be a marathon runner, and you don't have to walk every day. Simply choose a distance that suits you, ask your family and friends to support you, and every dollar you raise stays right here in our community.
Your fundraising helps local people with fuel, accommodation, travel, parking, medical expenses and other everyday costs, so they can focus their treatment. Whether you're walking for a loved one, a friend, a neighbour, or simply because you believe in looking after our community, every step makes a real difference.
Registrations are now open. Join our branch, start fundraising today, and walk with us this August.

🫶 Can't take part? You can still donate to our branch and help local people facing cancer.
