Thank you Canberra – 2024 Canberra Day Appeal

Thank You Canberra

Thank you, Canberra! The #HandsUp4CBR Giving Day has come to an end and we raised a total of $7,601.

From our entire team, thank you to everyone who made a donation and especially Talkforce Media whose generous support gave our appeal an initial impetus. To all our donors, your continued support with fundraising and sharing updates about the Canberra Day Appeal made a huge difference!

It has also been a pleasure working with some of the other charities taking part in the appeal to tell their stories, broadcast and podcast from Radio 1RPH.
