Helping Families Catch Up With Their Sons

At the end of last year, Barry continued to commit to service activities to help others.  After the Balmoral Swim for Cancer, Daffodil Day, the City2Surf for CanTeen and finally Legacy, the boys from Barry House decided to unite in an effort to raise money for our boarding families.  At the time, drought was a devastating factor in the lives of many of our families, and since then, bushfires and now Covid-19 have only added to the difficulties faced.  Through some fund-raising activities, the House was successful in raising $1000 to help provide our boarding families with some accommodation support, to help when visiting their sons while in Sydney.  In conjunction with View Sydney (see deal elsewhere in this newsletter), Barry House will provide ten $100 vouchers to help with accommodation costs for Shore boarding families from Hodges, Robson, School and Barry Houses. These will be available from the weekend of Week 6, so please contact Heather for your voucher in the week leading up to your Sydney visit.  First in-first served. Safe travels, and have a happy stay!
