Peak Hill BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
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
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.
Upcoming Events
There are no upcoming events.
Areas Serviced: Mungery, Peak Hill, Tomingley, Trewilga
Today the ladies and a couple of gents travelled to Westray for their annual merino Ram sale……what a fabulous day we all had…our fresh sandwiches and cakes were a hit and the barbecue was managed by two of our lovely ladies who did an excellent job cooking the sausages, steak and rissoles.
We are very lucky to have such a generous community here and we would like to thank everyone involved with today especially to Westray who kindly invite us to participate every year…. ... See MoreSee Less

Fantastic effort by everyone 😊
🔎 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
