Everyone deserves to feel important, that's why with your help we're supporting St John's Youth Services this Christmas.
St John’s Youth Services provides accommodation and related support services to young people experiencing homelessness in Adelaide.
Every dollar raised or gift received by Credit Union SA’s Giving Tree will make a profound difference to a young person’s life this Christmas. For some, it'll be the first time they ever receive a gift under the tree.
"Most young people who arrive at St John’s Youth Services feel like they don’t deserve anything, because they’ve never felt like they matter. A big part of the work we do at St John’s Youth Services is around changing this self-perception. A small gesture like receiving a Christmas gift can seem like such a little thing for most of us, but it’s a big deal for young people who’ve grown up without it. For young people who’ve experienced neglect or family violence, knowing that someone is thinking about them at Christmas can make the world seem a little kinder and brighter."
– Kylie, SJYS youth110 Service Manager.
