We’re proud to support the Samaritans Giving Tree this Christmas and are encouraging everyone to spread a bit of joy to someone less fortunate than themselves this Christmas.

Samaritans collect non-perishable food items and unwrapped gifts for any age - boys and girls, teens and adults. All items are taken to the Samaritans Christmas Assistance Centre and offered to local families in need of a bit of extra help.

Want to get involved? Please deliver any items to the Christmas tree in the foyer of Council's Administration Building in Raymond Terrace or to the Visitor Information Centre in Nelson Bay by Tuesday 18 December 2018.
