We're raising money for our relief centres during Pancake Day season, which runs until the end of June. If your church, school or community group would like to help support these vital programs, there's still time to host your own fundraising event.

The Moderator and General Secretary donned yellow aprons on Shrove Tuesday to help UnitingCare SA promote Pancake Day.

We spoke to Rev Peter Morel and Rev Philip Gardner to hear their thoughts about this important cause.

Remember: Pancake Day fundraising season runs until 30 June, so there's plenty of time for your church or community group to organise an event.
