Thank You Manningham – Together We Made It
NewsWhen COVID-19 first struck and our Op Shops closed, the Board was deeply concerned about Doncare’s financial future. Our staff team responded magnificently however and voluntarily reduced work hours and took leave without pay to help keep us afloat. This along with the financial support of Manningham City Council, the Bendigo Bank, the Phillips Foundation and the Commonwealth Job Keeper program enabled us to keep delivering services and balance the books. Our culture of teamwork, community service and partnership got us there.
Looking forward, I am pleased to advise that the Board has also signed off on a positive 2020-2021 Budget. Once again, this would not have been possible without the ongoing support of our staff team, our volunteers, our funders and our many community partners. On behalf of the Board, thank you all for enabling us to keep doing what we do well – supporting our community of Manningham.
Warmest regards,
Raymond Burnett
President, Doncare
