Hands Across Canberra 2020 Impact Report

Throughout 2019–20 we surveyed over 250 affiliated charities to identify emerging need and to assess our capacity to respond. From this, we learned that events in 2019–20 had impacted 98% of charities in the ACT – and that most had been significantly impacted. And we learned that we need to be strategic with our timing and incentives if we are to meet the demand from the sector.
