Winter is here. So is tax time.

As the end of the financial year approaches, many Australians are thinking about where they can make a meaningful difference before 30 June.

Mending Casts is an ACNC-registered charity, which means donations of $2 or more are tax deductible — but the impact goes far beyond a receipt.

Your support helps provide life-changing retreats for people navigating cancer, creating opportunities for connection, community and healing in nature. Every donation helps us continue offering these experiences at no cost to participants.

💙 Donate today and help us create more moments of connection, hope and healing.

People often think we're just about fly fishing. Of course, that is what brought us together. But the truth is, we're about people, and supporting them as best we can while they navigate one of the toughest personal experiences a person can endure.

Mending Casts provides free nature-based retreats for people navigating cancer. Through time outdoors, shared experiences, and a gentle introduction to fly fishing, participants have the opportunity to step away from appointments and everyday pressures and connect with others who understand what they're going through.

When we ask our participants for feedback after their retreats, they tell us time and time again that what they remember most isn't the fishing – it's the conversations, connections, and comfort of being with a small community while healing in nature.

This National Volunteer Week, we want to acknowledge the incredible people who make Mending Casts possible 💙💪 🩵🤝🤍
Behind every retreat is a community of volunteers giving their time, expertise, and heart to support people navigating cancer.

Many of our volunteers have been part of the Mending Casts community for years, and their generosity is what allows our retreats to remain fully funded for participants.
To every buddy, organiser and committee member, thank you. You are the heart of Mending Casts. 💙

We’re honoured to share that Mending Casts has been featured in a new peer-reviewed Deakin University study exploring the impact of our retreats for Australians navigating cancer.

The research highlighted the power of:
• connection and shared experience
• time in nature
• confidence-building through new skills
• ongoing community support beyond the retreat itself

Thank you to every participant, volunteer, supporter, buddy, health professional and partner who has helped make these experiences possible.

People helping people is what Mending Casts is all about.

Every retreat, conversation, shared meal, early morning by the river, and quiet moment of connection is made possible by volunteers, supporters, participants, buddies, and community members who lead with compassion, generosity, and care.

Our values guide everything we do.

🤍 The heart to serve
We believe in showing compassion, understanding, integrity, and respect — both on and off the water.

🎣 Love what you do
Passion matters. Whether it’s sharing skills, supporting participants, preparing meals, or simply listening, we believe in bringing heart and purpose to every experience.

🤝 Be a team player
Mending Casts exists because of community. We value every person’s strengths, support one another, and create space for others to shine.

Together, we create connection, calm, and community for people navigating cancer through time in nature.
