Horsham Red Cross fundraiser

A Horsham Red Cross branch leader is calling on residents to act for humanity.

Chair Jill Sinclair said residents would join a wave of action across Australia to raise money for Red Cross.

Ms Sinclair said the group would be in Horsham Plaza from today until Friday collecting money donations between 10am and 4pm.

“Communities across the country will act for humanity, turning their passions and interests into an event that people can support,” she said.

“Together they’ll raise money to help Red

Cross continue its life-changing work.” Ms Sinclair said the donations would help people who were facing a wide variety of issues such as helping people who were isolated and needed regular check-ups.

“You’ll be helping newly arrived migrants get set up in their new homes, and you’ll help young people in the justice system get support,” she said.
