Anglicare 12 days of Christmas - click to read the stories All around Australia agencies in the Anglicare network are launching their Christmas appeal to continue doing as we've always done - working day in, day out, through recession and drought - to bring dignity, comfort and hope to those whose supplies are running low. These are just twelve stories we prepared for Christmas 2009.

Anglicare Australia is the peak body for a national network of locally based Anglican care organisations serving the needs of disadvantaged Australians and their communities.

The Anglicare network provides a wide range of services to people in need; and works to address issues of injustice across the nation.  In 2007-08 Anglicare agencies served over 512,340 clients in rural, remote, regional and urban communities using the services of 12,000 staff and 21,000 volunteers and spending over $624 million.

Anglicare Australia seeks to influence social and economic policy to advocate for a society where the contribution, dignity and participation of everyone is equally valued.
