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.

We have some exciting times coming up here in out little town….Can Assist will be catering for the Leisure Centres fiftieth anniversary opening night for the June Long. We are all getting out our recipe books to cook up a storm or culinary delights for the opening.
Then ove the weekend the Sharah Sisters have very generously donated some of their beautiful clothing to a pop up shop which will be next door to the Grocer. All proceeds from the sale of these lovely clothes will be donated to Can Assist….so thank you Sharah Sisters…most generous….
We will also be holding a raffle for a table cloth made by Bush Textiles which I believe is very striking…..it has been died using gum leaves and I can’t wait to see it…so get in and get some tickets so your not disappointed. Tickets are $2.00 each. All of this is happening from the Friday night the 9th June through to Sunday the 11 th……hope to see you sometime over the weekend.
We are also going to be involved in a brilliant fundraiser shortly called Can Do The Distance….we are hoping that we can get the whole community involved in this challenge….more details to come….so stay tuned ..
The raffle for the beautiful cross stitch kindly donated by our own Mrs May Chandler is still going and if you haven’t gotten your tickets for that yet please see the lovely ladies at the information centre . ... See MoreSee Less
