Peak Hill BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Can Assist Peak Hill was formed in 1992. The branch is dedicated to supporting anyone in our community affected by cancer. While only a small team here in a small town, we are well supported by the community. Our main source of funding currently comes from the can and bottle refund scheme.
Areas Serviced: Mungery, Peak Hill, Tomingley, Trewilga
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 supporters both from within the community and further afield. We thank them for their contribution.

Last night was the last meeting for the year and also our Christmas party which was held at the Tomingley hotel.
Our meeting was very informative and we have a lot to think about for the coming year….Our fund raising has been spectacular and we would like to thank all of the volunteers who help us daily in our quest. Unfortunately a few of them were unable to attend the dinner last night due to other commitments.
One of our members kindly donated a raffle which was won by a helper, Pam North. Well done Pam and thank you for your help always. ... See MoreSee Less

Great advocacy work by Can Assist for country cancer patients, at NSW Parliament House!It was a privilege today to provide feedback from our Can Assist community network, alongside Royal Far West Manly Sydney NSW, to the NSW State’s Select Committee on Remote, Rural and Regional Health. They are conducting an inquiry into the implementation of recommendations specifically relating to workforce issues, workplace culture and funding considerations for remote, rural and regional health.

Well done ladies!
Thanks, Ms Skinner!Can Assist always appreciates when someone chooses to include Can Assist as a beneficiary in their will.
With one recent bequest from a lady named Ms Skinner, we have already in this financial year been able to relieve the burden of accommodation costs for four country families when staying in Sydney to support their loved ones when receiving cancer treatment. Can Assist's network is so grateful for Ms Skinner's thoughtfulness in planning a bequest within her will.
We ensure the benefactors' lasting legacy will meet their wishes in supporting country cancer patients in NSW. Need more information?
