The Great Storm Recovery Appeal
At Knoxbrooke we assist people to realise their full potential in the supported employment environment, giving them skills, confidence and opportunity.
Knoxbrooke operate a range of successful social enterprises nestled at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges.
On the evening of Wednesday the 9th June a major storm impacted the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley Region. It has been described by some as cyclonic and a 'once in a lifetime event'. This storm impacted all 4 of Knoxbrookes sites. Initial estimates were $100,000+ worth of damages. This has now increased to $200,000+ with $48,000 alone to remove the fallen tree's.
We are a charity but we do not normally ask for donations. This time we do need your help.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
