Christmas Appeal 2026
This year, include another Tasmanian on your Christmas list.
Many people in our community, including families with children, are experiencing hardship in the lead-up to the festive season.
It can feel more of a burden than a celebration.
It’s hard to celebrate when you’re struggling to afford the basics: a roof over your head, groceries and electricity.
Your donation will be used to provide practical support and show that the Tasmanian community cares.

Donate Now
“Thank you for choosing to add another Tasmanian to your Christmas list. It’s a simple and effective way to spread care and compassion in our community this festive season.”
– Chris Jones, CEO
Why donate?
At a time when Tasmanians are facing unprecedented cost of living pressures, a donation to Anglicare has the potential to enrich someone’s life.
It enables us to make one-off purchases for our clients that sit outside program funding. It also means that we can support Tasmanians experiencing hardship through the winter months and during the Christmas season.
Here are some recent examples of how we use donations to support people who are using our services:
- A young person living in one of our Youth2Independence facilities had identified an education pathway that suited their skills, experience and aspirations. A pre-requisite for their chosen course was a first aid certificate, but the student’s budget couldn’t stretch to this extra cost. Anglicare used donated funds to pay for the certificate, paving the way for a brighter future for the young person.
- A young person in our Supported Youth Program was experiencing upheaval in their day-to-day life but was determined to stay engaged with school. Anglicare purchased a tent and sleeping bag so that they could attend a school camp alongside their peers.
- An older Tasmanian moving into a permanent home after a period of homelessness was overjoyed with the donation of some new whitegoods and the payment of their first power bill.
- A family whose financial circumstances had changed suddenly after the loss of employment had been unable to cover the cost of their rent. A donation that covered the arrears gave them some valuable breathing space and hope that their situation would improve.
