They Found a Home!
As part of Creative Australia's national fundraising day for the Arts - October 23rd, we are supporting Werribee District Historical Society (WDHS), a volunteer organisation active since1962, and who sadly has been forced to leave their premises. So put Oct 23 in your diary as we report live donations for a 12 hour period. We aim to help set them up in an historic homestead. Essence and WDHS will collaborate, targetting local community through online marketing, flyers and word of mouth but also be present in broader platforms. Yes WDHS is closely connected to art. They write (periodicals, books, articles) they interpret, they design and build diaoramas, they have important collections of maps, books, photographs and are a vital source for research projects (including some of my plays). They need a home so help us, help them to set themselves up in a great location, the bluestone manse.
Help us keep our rescue doors open!
We are at breaking point - our outstanding vet bills are piling up, and we can't save more dogs unless we receive urgent donations. We've had to temporarily close our doors to new intakes, which means dogs and puppies will lose their lives if we don't act now. Can you help us? Our team is struggling to cover the numerous vet bills, despite our amazing volunteers working tirelessly to raise funds every week. We need your support to keep our doors open and save more dogs. Thank you so much - your support means the world to us and the dogs we're fighting to save!

Bloomsday 2020
Bloomsday in Melbourne is hosting Bloomsday virtually in 2020, with a free Film Festival in 18 Episodes, based on the 18 episodes of Ulysses. We'll be sharing these films with you on Bloomsday. We have the wonderfully talented Jen Dean as director - Jen directed our superb production of Travesties last year - and leading our cast of 20 is Australian national treasure Max Gillies. Can you help us raise funds so we are able to pay our director and cast? Usually the fees raised from our production fund our production and pay for our cast and crew, but obviously this year is different. So we're appealing for your help. This year, every single cent we raise from this fundraiser will go straight to our director and cast. If you're in a position to contribute, thank you for your generosity. And whether you can or not, you're very welcome indeed to join us for Bloomsday at www.facebook.com/groups/bloomsday2020
Colour Smash Fun Run Fundraiser
We are raising funds for Ross Park Primary School's engine room. The purpose of the engine room is to provide a sensory space for students and an opportunity to use a variety of equipment to help with sensory and physical regulation and calming. Please make sure you let the student you are donating on behalf of know you have contributed to their fundraising, as classes and students are keeping track for additional prizes to be won.

Collecting donations for ORRCA
The Inner West Community Band is thrilled to present 'Vulnerable Joy' by Australian composer Jodie Blackshaw as part of our December concert! 'Vulnerable Joy' is inspired by the remarkable migration journey and family bonds of the humpback whale. The piece is part of a series of works by Blackshaw inspired by wildlife, and raising awareness and funds for conservation. Today we are raising funds for ORRCA (the Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia), a 100% volunteer-run charity whose mission is to rescue, research and protect whales, dolphins, seals and dugongs in Australian waters.
