This post is for YOU.
To everyone who donated through cafs.org.au, to those who came into our office to make a financial contribution, and to the kind souls who dropped off backpacks and school supplies – we owe you a heartfelt THANK YOU.
Because of your incredible generosity, local kids are heading into the new school year equipped with everything they need to succeed. You’ve helped make that possible.
There are still families who will need our support in the coming weeks, and your donations have ensured we can continue to be there for them, providing the resources that will help our kids not just survive, but thrive.
Together, we’re making a real difference. Thank you for standing with us and for our community

The 2025 Ballarat Survival Day Dawn Ceremony will be the sixth reflection and healing event hosted by the City of Ballarat`s Koorie Engagement Action Group (KEAG) Advisory Committee in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members.
While a day of mourning and remembrance of First Peoples who fought in the frontier wars, 26 January is also a day to mark the survival of ongoing traditions and cultures.
The Survival Day Dawn Ceremony is an inclusive event, welcoming all to join in solidarity for reflection and healing.
January 26 in Australia provides an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to mourn, reflect, and for all to learn about the true history of the country.

Dawn Ceremony: 5:30 - 6:30am
Sand Circle Yarning Space until 10:30am

Cafs acknowledges our past. In the spirit of reconciliation, we give deepest respect to Australia’s First Nations Peoples. Their histories, their stories, their resilience. Their connection to culture and land. The wisdom of their Elders past, present and emerging.
