Shoalhaven BRANCH

Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Shoalhaven was formed in 2010 and raises funds to provide financial assistance to people in our local community who are undergoing cancer treatment.
The Shoalhaven branch consists of a small group of people who enjoy fundraising together and are fortunate enough to be supported in their fundraising efforts by a number of local individuals and community groups.

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 community supporters. We thank our supporters for their contribution.
In 2019 we lost our long term member and good friend Bob Kells. It is because of Bob’s warm and engaging personality that many of us joined the committee. Over the years he was a keen organiser of fundraising events and in his spare time made and sold unique woodwork items, the proceeds of which he donated to Can Assist. Despite declining health, his enthusiasm never waned. Vale Bob.

Awesome volunteers… awesome cause. Thanks guys you do an amazing job!!!👏👏
Looking good guys, well done.
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?
