Youngcare
Lyn Rankin, General Manager of Marketing and Fund-raising for Youngcare was a recent guest speaker at our club.
Youngcare was established in 2005 following an inspirational story of one woman’s battle to find relevant and dignified care. Currently over 7,000 young Australians (under the age of 65) with full-time care needs are living in aged care simply because there are few alternatives. There are also 700,000 more young Australians being cared for at home by family and friends, often with limited support. Youngcare is committed to raising awareness of the issue across Australia so that they can drive change and create real choices for young Australians and their families.

Mary and Angelo Puglisi have chosen Youngcare as one of the recipients of funds raised at Opera in the Vineyard, and a cheque was presented at the meeting.
