Home Care Services Connect Magazine – Summer 2024

Welcome to Anglicare Tasmania’s Aged Care Home Care Services Client Quarterly Magazine for Summer 2024.

We know that many Tasmanians are struggling to make ends meet as we head into the festive season.
Anglicare’s Christmas Appeal (page 12) enables us to deliver gifts of practical support to individuals and families across the State who are engaged with our services.

We are very grateful that Anglicare has been selected again to receive funds from the ABC Giving Tree Appeal.  We will use them to purchase food vouchers and food for hampers, and back-to-school supplies such as backpacks, clothing, lunch boxes and drink bottles.

This edition includes tips for heading into the New Year with your finances in good shape (page 6) and the importance of self-care for your family members (page 7).

This edition also includes seasonal information that’s designed to keep you safe in the warmer weather (pages 5 and 12).

Our Social Action and Research Centre (SARC) team released three reports in October and November (pages 8-9). The urgent need for more affordable, safe and appropriate homes for all Tasmanians is a common thread.

May God bless you and your families this Christmas and I look forward to speaking with you again in the New Year.
