Giving Tree for St John's Youth Services
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 and allow them to achieve greater independence.
"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.
For a lot of young people staying at St John’s Youth Services crisis accommodation (youth110), it will be the first time there’s ever been a present under the tree just for them!
