Flood Relief 2025 (Manning Valley)
Donation protected
We are a few girls living in Newcastle who grew up in the beautiful town of Wingham. On May 21st Wingham and surrounds were hit with a massive amount of rainfall that led to widespread and record breaking floods. Over the past few days we have been accepting donations of items from the netball community down here with the help of Mayfield Netball Club. These donations have helped so many flood victims in need, however because of how widespread the impacts of these floods have been, we are hoping that we can raise funds to cater for a greater amount of people in the community and extend help to surrounding towns such as Taree, Manning Point and beyond. This includes:
- Buying bulk amounts of food and making food hampers to go to those who are impacted and the community members who are providing assistance whether that be through cleaning or offering their houses for those who have been left with nothing
- Buying essential items such as toiletries, blankets, clothes etc
- providing support to businesses in the area
- and much more!
Growing up this town had and still has so much to offer. The community spirit is truly amazing! Despite only just recovering from the 2021 floods, the community has come together once again in this time of heartbreak for many.
We understand that it is a hard time for everyone but are extremely grateful for any donation to the people of Wingham and surrounds that you may be able to contribute.
