Where to Donate in South Australia to Support Bushfire Recovery & Relief
January 2020
It’s the bushfire crisis that has brought Australia to tears and left the rest of the world watching on in horror. The devastation is beyond belief and it’s easy to feel helpless when the scale of the disaster is just so huge.
Below you will find a list we have put together where you can donate to show your support. At Play & Go we have a strong focus on supporting our home here in South Australia, however there are many worthwhile charities to choose from nation wide.
Please remember it doesn’t matter how much you can afford to donate – from $1 to hundreds of dollars, a little bit adds up to a lot, so every dollar counts.
