Uralla BRANCH
Hunter New England Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Uralla was formed in 2000. The Branch provides financial support to cancer patients and their families who live in the Uralla Shire area. All funds raised by the community are spent to support local patients. Raised here stays here!
We thank everyone for their support at our various fundraising events including the annual family and fishing fund day, our street store and wood raffle and the bowls day.
Areas Serviced: Abington, Arding, Bakers Creek, Balala, Boorolong, Briarbrook, Bundarra, Camerons Creek, Dangarsleigh, Dumaresq, Gostwyck, Inveergowrie, Kellys Plains, Kingstown, Mihi, Rocky River, Salisbury Plains, Saumarez, Torryburn, Uralla, Yarrowyck
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. Can Assist expresses our thanks.

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?
