Events that shaped our year

Sharing experiences of CALD women

In early December we released the findings from HopeStreet Women’s Services first research report on Sydney’s sex industry.

Healthy minds, hearts and women

BaptistCare HopeStreet Women’s Services received a grant from Women NSW to assist in developing cultural specific resources around mental health and stress for women from migrant backgrounds in the sex industry.

Reaching out to farmers doing it tough

Our HopeStreet Dubbo team held a special event for the farming communities of Tottenham and Gulargambone to raise spirits and provide assistance and support at a family fun day.

A health crisis turns into an economic crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a public health crisis and for a great many of our clients, an economic crisis.

Rapid response grants for Hunter and Inner City

Between March and May 2020 our BaptistCare HopeStreet teams in the Hunter and Sydney’s Inner City each received grants to respond to challenges posed by COVID-19.

Loans bridge technology gap for children

A new and vital requirement emerged from the COVID crisis when suddenly technology was essential to facilitate at-home learning for children.

Checking in on problem gambling

With the convenience of smart phones and betting apps, gambling is now accessible at the tap of a screen, and we are seeing that teenagers and young adults are increasingly at risk.

Responding to the domestic and family violence crisis

Throughout the year, our strong focus on supporting women and children to rebuild their lives after experiencing violence and trauma continued.
