Community Sponsorship

(Critical Operational Support)

All sponsorship is tax deductable

Sunflower House is the only non-clinical, centre-based mental health recovery service in the Riverina, supporting people as they transition from hospital and crisis mental health services back into everyday community life.

While government funding covers staff wages, Sunflower House receives no dedicated funding for essential operational costs – including insurance, electricity, utilities, and facility overheads.

Without these costs covered, recovery programs cannot be delivered.

Funding for our operational costs will cease at the end of this financial year, creating an urgent need for community and corporate sponsorship to ensure the service can continue operating.

Why Operational Support Matters

Operational funding keeps Sunflower House open and safe.

It enables:

-       Continuity of care for people at high risk

-       Delivery of recovery programs

-       Reduced pressure on hospital and emergency mental health services

No Operations = No Programs

As CEO, I am privileged to support this essential service for individuals living with mental health challenges. In the current environment, the need to invest in recovery-focused support has never been more critical. Such support enables individuals to rebuild their lives and contributes to stronger, more resilient communities. I would welcome the opportunity to arrange a meeting or conversation with either myself, as CEO, or Mr. Michael Cummins, Chair of the Sponsorship Sub-Committee, should you wish to consider supporting this vital service for the Wagga Wagga region and surrounding communities.

Thank you for your consideration.
