Merry Christmas to one and all, we hope you have a great day and the year ahead is good to you.

Please spare a thought for those that are doing it tougher than you and think about what you could do to help a soul or two.

Just a little act of kindness to your neighbor or someone in your local community can make all the difference. Because it tells them someone actually cares!!

Keep safe people!!

When my husband gets to play Santa to a local family and bring joy to two kids on Christmas morning… thank you to the wonderful local woman who nominated this family to receive these reconditioned bikes… so blessed to have a man who thinks of others, has a kind and charitable heart and does it all without asking for anything in return… I love that we get to do this…

The 4th Annual Ross Hutchison Foundation fundraiser was held last night… in a room of 40 people, without any major prizes or offers, we raised just over $12000 from the live auction and just over $19000 profit from the night in total.

The Ross Hutchison Foundation - founded in Penrith 50 years ago - receives no government funding. All the monies raised will go to continue working with victims of domestic violence, the homeless, young single mums and anyone else who knocks on our door for help.

Annually, we support not only hundreds of locals, our reach extends far beyond to places like Condobolin and Eugowra, as well a supporting other charities.

The Foundation’s philosophy is - We don’t care what brings you to our door… We just want to put a smile on your face and make tomorrow a better day…

A huge thank you to all those who attended and contributed with the fun of the auction, as well as those who purchased “Sorry I can’t come” tickets… every dollar will help us to help others.

These photos capture the moment George shared the news with Ross.

Why you should think about donating or supporting us?

Read to the end and then decide.

What does the Foundation do, I am often asked. The 8 year old Girl

As the CEO of the foundation people often ask me what we do and how we help. The usual answer is that we support people with food and furniture and general assistance not only through our limited resources but by calling on the large number of volunteers and other charities that we are connected to.

Last year a mum had moved out from a domestic violence situation with her 3 children, the partner had refused to allow them to take anything from the house, only the clothes that they were wearing.

by coincidence we had been approached by a couple of people that wanted to donate a houseful of furniture and I ended up delivering it on the Sunday night.

While talking to the mum, her young daughter about 8 years of age, came up behind me, wrapped her arms around me ain a big girly hug and and said "thanks for caring - my dad used to punch mum in the face."

I was a virtual stranger and yet this young girl spoke as though it was just the norm!!

NO ONE should hear a young child say those words so blaze like, imagine if that was your niece , or friends little girl - just think about that.

As I was leaving she gave me another hug and said "thank you for caring - I feel a bit safer now."

So what do we do - we tell people that we and the wonderful supporters we have care, we help little 8yo girls feel a little bit safer.

Are you sure you don't have just $15 to support our fund raiser?

Hi everyone, here is the first page of the flier, please please please, even 1 ticket at $15 is a great help for us. If you can't come and you can't sponsor I understand, times are tough, but a " sorry I can't come ticket" $15 helps us feed people or provide some basics for a mum and children that escaped domestic violence. YOU can make a difference!! - Love and hope Rossco

Please contact us as a rpriority if you can see your way to sponsor the event or make a donation fo something for the raffle and or auction. - with hope and Love Rossco
