It’s that final sprint to the end of the year — and what a year it’s been for our dedicated Red Cross team! From fundraising triumphs to heartfelt community support, 2025 has been a shining example of what can be achieved when a village pulls together.
We kicked off the year with our Uniform Drive in January, raising an impressive R30,000, followed by the elegant Bridgerton Tea, which brought in over R25,000 — both events receiving tremendous support from our generous community.
Throughout the year, the Red Cross Shop, First Aid events, Car Boot Sales, and Book Sales at the market have continued to provide a steady flow of income. The ever-popular Jars of Joy initiative was once again embraced locally, with Sygnia Investments joining in the spirit by packing jars for 67 Minutes on Mandela Day.
We’ve also focused on ensuring clothing reaches those who need it most, through our regular R5 sales, which have made a real difference in our community.
All of these efforts allow us to keep supporting our four core pillars — First Aid, Disaster Management, Community Upliftment, and Family Links.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed time, energy, and kindness this year. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year — here’s to an even more impactful 2026!
