What's on

We're proud of all our wonderful two and four-legged volunteers, so we like to put on a do to celebrate just how fantastic they are. Our broader events are on hold while our teams spread further across NSW and interstate: it's hard to pick a date everyone can get to. We still hold an annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch to recognise our teams' service. Catch up on past fundraisers, like our golf day that raised $16,000, in Stories.

Nothing on the calendar right now

The next Dash of Purple or Volunteer Appreciation Lunch will be announced here, and on our Facebook.
