Hannah’s House Publishes Report On The Rise Of The Australian Homelessness Crisis Since 2012
Hannah’s House, a leading support service dedicated to helping young women experiencing homelessness in Queensland, with crisis accommodation and mobile support, has published a report examining the steady rise of homelessness in Australia. Making use of data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the report states that the Aussy homeless crisis started in 2012 and how it has coincided with trends in house availability, construction rates, and population growth in the following two decades. The report indicates a sharp and sustained decline in new home construction beginning in 2012, coinciding with the end of post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC) stimulus measures. This decrease in housing development is named as one of the potential causes of the country’s growing homeless crisis. According to the report, the total housing stock and population in Australia have risen steadily from 2001 to 2024, but the number of new homes built each year fell dramatically in 2012 and has not since recovered to its previous levels. At the same time, the number of people experiencing homelessness has risen dramatically. The report published by Hannah’s House indicates that the housing market has not kept pace with the needs of the growing population. This is of particular concern to them as it has a potentially greater negative effect on vulnerable groups, such as young women at risk of homelessness. Further contributing factors are explored in the report. The decline in construction, which plays a role in the decrease in new housing, has been linked to ncluding reduced investor confidence following the GFC, global supply chain disruptions, and widespread community resistance to new developments. This resistance has been tied to the rise of the “Not In My Back Yard” or NIMY movement, a largely baby boomer-led movement that has opposed large-scale housing projects in many areas. With the cause of the housing shortfall as multifaceted as it is, Hannah’s House aims to show the extent of the homelessness crisis and the role of public policy in shaping it, helping policy-makers, community leaders, and service providers in understanding the roots of Australia’s ongoing homelessness problem. With over 40 years of experience supporting young women in crisis, Hannah’s House understands the real-life impact of Australia’s housing challenge. With its crisis accommodation and mobile support programs, the organisation is speaking up on the importance of stable housing in breaking the cycle of homelessness, while continuing its commitment to advocacy and frontline support for women in need.

Grace Episcopal Church in Madison, WI Launches Historic Slate Roof Replacement Project
Grace Episcopal Church, a historic cornerstone of Madison’s Capitol Square since 1855, has launched a major restoration project to replace its iconic slate roof. This will preserve the church’s Gothic Revival architecture and ensure its structural integrity for generations to come. Recent assessments, including drone-based infrared imaging, revealed significant deterioration of the original roof, prompting the need for a complete replacement. The new slate roof is designed to last 80 to 100 years, protecting the historic structure and its treasured stained-glass windows from weather and time. Construction is set to begin on June 2, 2025, following initial site preparations that started on May 19. The project team includes Bachmann Construction as the general contractor and Kulp’s of Stratford as the slate roofing subcontractor. Oversight is being led by Grace parishioner and structural engineer Fred Groth, whose experience includes restoration work on the Wisconsin State Capitol and the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Memorial Union. “This roof replacement is more than a structural necessity; it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to preserving a sacred space that has served Madison for over 170 years,” said The Rev. Dr. D. Jonathan Grieser, Rector of Grace Episcopal Church. “We are grateful for the expertise and dedication of our team and the support of our community.” The project’s total estimated cost is $1.5 million. This includes the roof replacement and the restoration of the church’s beloved courtyard and gardens upon project completion. Generous contributions—from Grace members past and present, the Nimick Forbesway Foundation, and the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation—have funded the initial phases of work, including pre-construction and the purchase of slate. However, additional support from the broader community will be needed to complete the project and ensure the long-term preservation of this landmark. To support the restoration or learn more, visit: 🔗 Project Website: https://enduringsanctuary.org 🔗 Church Website: https://gracechurchmadison.org Grace Episcopal Church remains committed to transparency and will provide regular updates through its websites and weekly bulletins. The congregation and the greater Madison community are encouraged to participate in this once-in-a-generation effort to preserve one of the city’s most enduring symbols of faith, service, and architectural heritage.

UK Glioblastoma Fundraiser To Support Urgent Treatment—GoFundMe Campaign Launch
Asta Pratapaviciene has launched a GoFundMe campaign titled “You’re My Only Hope” to raise £100,000 for a specialised private treatment not accessible via standard care that could offer a lifeline to her partner Raimondas, who was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and fast-growing brain tumour. More information can be found at https://gofund.me/c11576b0 Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumour in UK adults, affecting approximately 2,500 people every year. According to The Brain Tumour Charity, average survival following diagnosis is 12 to 18 months, with only a small percentage surviving beyond five years. Its invasive nature makes it difficult to remove surgically, and even with aggressive therapy, recurrence is common. Only around 25% of patients survive more than one year, and fewer than 3% make it past three years. For Asta and Raimondas, the diagnosis upended their future. After eight years together, having both emerged from previous divorces, the couple had been building a new life until Raimondas began experiencing symptoms that led to the devastating news. “It feels like the ground has been pulled from beneath our feet,” Asta said. Though the NHS offers standard treatments like surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, glioblastomas are notoriously difficult to remove because of their tentacle-like growths that wrap around essential brain structures. Asta says they are seeking specialised private therapy specifically for Raimondas’ cancer, an option that provides hope but comes at a prohibitive cost. “Raimondas is full of life, dreams, and love - and he’s not ready to give up. Neither am I,” she added. At the time of writing, the fundraiser has received over £6,000 from 140 donors. Pratapaviciene remains hopeful and encouraged by the initial outpouring of support. The tumour has already impacted Raimondas’ life dramatically, but Asta says they are undeterred. “We’re asking for your kindness and support to help us afford this treatment,” she said. “Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving Raimondas a fighting chance.” Each contribution is protected under the GoFundMe Giving Guarantee, which provides full donor protection for a year regardless of location.

UK Glioblastoma GoFundMe For Urgent Treatment Donations With £100K Goal Launched
Asta Pratapaviciene has started a public fundraiser called "You're My Only Hope" to support her partner Raimondas, who was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma—a highly aggressive and often fatal form of brain cancer. The campaign seeks to raise £100,000 for private treatment that offers a specialised approach beyond standard therapies. More details can be found at https://gofund.me/c11576b0 According to a study in England , glioblastoma patients face a median survival of only 7 months. Even with aggressive treatment combining surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, median survival typically extends to just 16 months. Only 29% of patients receive this multi-modality treatment, highlighting significant gaps in care. The five-year survival rate remains at approximately 5% in the UK. Raimondas's condition has left the couple grappling with both emotional and financial strain. Having built a life together over the past eight years following previous divorces, they now face an uncertain future. Standard options such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy have limited efficacy against glioblastoma's aggressive progression. "We were planning our future together when everything changed overnight with this diagnosis," said Pratapaviciene. "After extensive research, I learned of a specialised treatment that targets this specific cancer. This offers hope, but the cost is far beyond what we can afford on our own." At the time of writing, the fundraiser has received £5,990 from 109 donors. While the campaign has drawn early support, it remains far from its intended goal. All contributions are backed by the GoFundMe Giving Guarantee, which protects donations of any amount for a full year after the contribution date, with worldwide coverage regardless of donor location. "Raimondas is full of life and not ready to give up—and neither am I," Pratapaviciene added. "Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to giving him a fighting chance against this devastating cancer."

Equipping Pastors Worldwide Celebrates 20 Years of Ministry, Seeks U.S. Partners
Swindon, UK - Equipping Pastors Worldwide (EPW) , a UK-based non-profit dedicated to training and resourcing pastors in under-resourced regions in the Global South, is celebrating 20 years of ministry. Given that there are very few trained pastors in the underserved global regions, EPW’s mission to empower church leaders through biblical education and practical ministry tools is more vital than when it was founded. EPW has impacted thousands of pastors across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As they mark this milestone, the organization is looking to expand awareness and partnerships in the United States to strengthen their global mission to equip pastors to be faithful expositors of God’s Word, and ultimately the means through which the message of the good news of Jesus Christ changes countless lives through the hearing and living out the true gospel. Founded in 2004, EPW has worked tirelessly to provide pastors in remote and resource-scarce areas with biblical training, mentorship, and essential ministry resources. Their programs include in-person workshops, digital training modules, and the distribution of biblically sound literature tailored to the needs of pastors serving in challenging environments. “Our heart has always been to equip and empower pastors who otherwise have little access to sound biblical resources and training,” said Dave Holdt, Head of Training for EPW. “We believe that when pastors are well-equipped, they can shepherd their congregations more effectively, transforming communities from the inside out.” Over the past two decades, EPW has facilitated training initiatives in over 20 countries, impacting thousands of pastors. With a growing demand for resources, the organization sees the United States as a strategic partner in furthering its mission. EPW believes many American churches and Christian organizations share their passion for equipping strong global church leaders. The organization is seeking mission-minded individuals, churches, and foundations to invest in pastoral training that advances the gospel in hard-to-reach places. In fact, Richard Gray, EPW’s Executive Director, will be in the Raleigh-Durham area May 18-20, teaching and meeting with pastors and leaders to promote partnerships leading to future impact for the church in Africa and elsewhere in the Global South. EPW is launching a capital campaign to support its expansion efforts, including the development of new, indigenous, in-country partnerships, digital resources, and translation projects. U.S. partners can get involved through financial contributions, resource donations, and volunteer engagement in training programs. As the organization looks ahead, its leadership remains committed to strengthening the church worldwide by equipping those called to lead it.

UK Emergency Gaza Fundraiser Now Accepting Donations For Children, Families
Through this program, Goodwill Caravan will be funding a wide range of direct aid efforts, including immigration sponsorship for refugees, support for refugees, and the acquisition of food and other supplies. The organization is registered in the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and are currently accepting appeals for new projects. To find out more, visit https://goodwillcaravan.com/ As the United Nations recently reported, the crisis in Gaza has taken an unimaginable toll on thousands of families and children. At time of writing, the officially reported death toll stands in excess of 50,000, though many have suggested that the true number may be far higher. The vast majority of those casualties, over 80%, have been civilians, underscoring the importance of the aid pouring in from around the globe. Reports are now emerging that the Palestinian people are facing or may soon face a forced displacement out of their homeland, which will require millions of dollars in aid funding to cover the administrative costs alone. These refugees, left with no other option, are turning to social media and other sources to plead for monetary and material assistance. Answering the call, Goodwill Caravan is consolidating many of the efforts that have been launched recently and amplifying the voices behind them. They are also collecting aid funding directly and ensuring that all funds arrive safely in the hands of those in need, guided by their many years of crisis response experience. Specifically, the nonprofit has spent over a decade offering legal assistance, refugee support, and material aid to causes around the world, including Libya beginning in 2018, and, more recently, Pakistan in 2023. Now, as the situation deteriorates on a day-by-day basis, they are offering their expertise and resources to Palestine to help mitigate the damage. Goodwill Caravan’s overall mission statement includes an 8-point approach to humanitarian aid work, targeting hunger, poverty, and healthcare as their primary priorities. In their own words, “We are committed to ensuring displaced individuals have the protection, resources and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and security.” Those interested in donating to these important causes should visit the link below; there, each specific initiative is listed along with the requested donation amount. Donations of any size are also accepted through their general support fund. For more information, visit https://goodwillcaravan.com/

Goodwill Caravan ensure the next generation of Doctors for Gaza
Goodwill Caravan launched a student sponsorship project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors. This project aims to fund the students to complete their studies and graduate as doctors so they can go back to Gaza where they can serve their own community. A very different take on charity for Gaza and the Palestinians. Hanan Asheg, Founder and Executive Director at Goodwill Caravan, says: "We wanted to try something new with this project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors. We and many other charities have been able to provide aid and emergency supplies to those in and escaping Gaza but after supporting refugees for 10 years I saw a unique opportunity to do more than feed them for a day. With our centre in Cairo helping thousands arriving from Gaza and Sudan we realised we could do more than help them survive, we could get their lives back on track and give them hope for the future. With a vocation and priceless skills for their own community, these students will be the doctors of tomorrow. We've also started providing mental health support at the centre to help the arriving refugees in settling into a new life after all their traumatic experiences. Most other charities have focused on the emergency aid. This is a problem because but this only helps them in a temporary way, they will need housing, future employment and the ability to live long after this conflict ends. We hope to be able to provide this hopeful future by funding hundreds of students to complete their degrees in Egypt" Goodwill Caravan will continue to provide emergency aid, tents, food and housing but by taking this approach with both funding the completion of degrees and providing an array of mental health support they know these students and young refugees will be able to have a more settled future, gain employment and provide for their own families and community, breaking the need for dependency and reliance on charities and handouts in the future. Goodwill Caravan chose to take this approach after ten years of supporting refugees around the world and having kept in touch with so many of those displaced families the team understood the long-term difficulties of settling into a new life in a new place without the qualifications or transferable skills to become independent. Hanan Asheg also said "We want to give our arrivals the opportunity for a brighter future not just survival. With our new Project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors, they have a fresh new possibility to fulfil their dreams. The students are always ecstatic to hear they would be able to complete their studies especially after the heartbreak of seeing the schools and Gazas university completely destroyed in the conflict." Goodwill Caravan has been in support refugees for over 10 year, being established in 2015. They have always aimed to support refugees and vulnerable groups on the journey to a better life and have achieved this globally with centres in Greece and Libya as well as Egypt. This isn't the first time Goodwill Caravan has defied convention either. In In Greece Goodwill Caravan was one of the only charities to focus on the reunification of children with their families and were able to reunite hundreds of children with relatives and avoid them being trafficked. This incredible team work in partnership with the communities they support to met their need effectively. The new project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors service is growing; to find out more about the projects and service and from Goodwill Caravan visit https://goodwillcaravan.com/

INEX Club Unites Cycling Community in the 2025 INEX Charity Ride in Support of Next Generation Cyclists
INEX Club has announced the return of its annual charity cycling event, the 2025 INEX Charity Ride , scheduled for May 10 in Limassol, Cyprus. Now in its third year, this philanthropic initiative aims to raise funds for the Cyprus Cycling Federation's youth development programs by challenging participants to complete either a 200km or 100km route across the island's diverse terrain. The 2025 edition builds upon the success of last year's event, which saw more than 70 cyclists participate and generated sufficient funding to equip junior cyclists with professional gear. This year's ride will feature two meticulously planned routes showcasing Cyprus' natural beauty while offering varying degrees of challenge for participants of all skill levels. "What began as a personal challenge for our club members and other cyclists has evolved into a significant charitable movement that truly impacts the future of cycling in Cyprus," said Viacheslav Kuznetsov, co-founder of INEX Club. "The overwhelming community response to previous rides inspired us to expand our vision and focus on supporting young athletes who represent the future of our sport but often lack access to proper equipment and training resources." The 200-kilometer route spans 210 kilometers and gains 2,843 meters in elevation, starting and ending at the WAY bikes headquarters in Germasogeia. Riders will journey through breathtaking landscapes, passing the Holy Church of Panagia Iamatika, Caffè Nero Dali, and coastal areas near Marinoparea until they return to the WAY bikes. For those seeking a more accessible challenge, the 100km route covers 114 kilometers with a 1,022-meter elevation gain and features two support stops. Both routes emphasize safety and participant experience, designed to accommodate varying paces and ensure all riders can enjoy the post-event celebration together. The INEX Charity Ride has also designated pit stops that will provide refreshments, warm meals, and mechanical support throughout the journey. It also features comprehensive support systems, including mechanic-staffed vehicles patrolling the routes, GPS tracking for real-time monitoring of participants, and a festive post-ride celebration at the WAY bikes with showers, refreshments, and community gathering space. The event has secured sponsorship from entrepreneur and former professional cyclist Igor Makarov and his company ARETI International Group. Makarov has also participated in the 2024 Charity Ride and the 2024 Areti Gran Prix Cyprus, highlighting his continued commitment to developing cycling talent and improving the quality of the sport in the region. "We are happy to once again be part of this great initiative and create a sustainable pathway for talented young riders in Cyprus," Igor Makarov mentions. "Many young cyclists with natural ability never get the opportunity to develop their skills due to financial barriers. Every kilometer our participants ride helps break down these barriers and opens doors for the next generation of cyclists." Viacheslav Kuznetsov shares, "When riders cross the finish line, they're not just completing a personal journey—they're directly contributing to a young cyclist's opportunity to pursue their dreams. That powerful combination of personal challenge and community support defines the spirit of the INEX Charity Ride." Registration for the event is free, with participants encouraged to secure donations from supporters. The inclusive approach has attracted cyclists of various backgrounds and abilities, from competitive amateur athletes to recreational riders seeking a meaningful challenge. All proceeds from the 2025 event will directly fund bicycles, helmets, and training equipment for young athletes supported by the Cyprus Cycling Federation. Please visit the INEX Club’s website for registration details. As of today, the event is proudly supported by sponsors ARETI International Group , INEX Development, and Mayflower — as well as partners: WAY bikes, RAY Kitchen & Bar, Activate, and Cycling Cyprus. About INEX CLUB Ex-professional cyclist Viacheslav Kuznetsov, who has over 20 years of cycling experience, founded the INEX CLUB together with partners. He spent over 12 years in professional cycling, becoming a medalist and winning some of the biggest races in professional cycling, and he has completed multiple Grand Tours. In 2021, he decided to end his professional career and transfer his valuable experience and passion to change the cycling world in Cyprus.
