About our charities
What
everyone should know about CareFlight …
CareFlight
was formed in 1986 to provide a rapid response medical retrieval service
for the people of Sydney and adjacent regions.
CareFlight’s specialist doctors are trained in critical care medicine
and deliver intensive care treatment to patients wherever they are.
CareFlight has treated more than 10,000 patients, many of whom owe their lives
to this service.
CareFlight’s service is provided free of charge to all patients, yet
costs over 3 million dollars per annum to staff, equip and operate.
It is through your continued generosity that enables CareFight to
deliver this important service to the community.
On behalf of CareFlight, Ku-ring-gai Bushwalkers would like to thank everyone
who has supported and contributed in our fund raising efforts.
Your generosity has assisted us in raising several
thousand dollars for CareFlight, our
emergency helicopter and medical retrieval service.

"Water Matters Campaign 2003/2004" 'Water Matters' In 2003/2004 we joined the campaign to ensure that all people, especially the world's poor, have access to safe water and adequate sanitation. Currently over 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion to adequate sanitation. As our crops fail and our lawns turn brown, we in Australia are very aware of the importance of water. The situation is much worse around the world where some countries do not have access to a safe and secure water supply. Without water, lives are lost, disease is endemic and droughts are even more devastating. Time which could be spent earning a living or going to school is wasted in long searches for even a single jerrycan of water. Ku-ring-gai Bushwalkers and its members are proud to have given their support and assistance to the 'Water Matters' campaign and to ask you to do all you can to achieve safe water for all the world's poor. |
