Community Information

Saver Plus

Saver Plus is a free matched savings program to assist families living on a lower income to receive $500 for educational expenses. We also provide budgeting workshops with the aim to improve long term financial wellbeing.

Participants can put that money towards education expenses for themselves or their children, including Computers, laptops, Books, Uniforms, Camps & excursions.

Saver Plus fosters a sense of dignity and self-respect that extends beyond money matters.

Vinnies Hunter

Vinnies Hunter is currently on the lookout for Community Leaders to join the Vinnies CEO Sleepout on 19 June 2025. As the need for support rises right across the region, we are asking leaders, no matter their title, to join us to raise much needed funds to support our services, such as the Matthew Talbot Homeless Service and the Newcastle Vinnies Van.

We kindly ask you, and other important members of your school, to consider registering and sharing the attached advertisement in your newsletters and social pages.

Please do not hesitate to contact our Member and Community Engagement Manager, Sarah Kemp on 0490 255 100 if you have any questions.
