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.
Regional Australia Bank Community Partnership.

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
