Suicide rates increase with increases in remoteness; this means that East Gippsland and Wellington possibly experience some vulnerability to suicide relating to greater distance from main population centers.

Only 30% of donated items arrive in a condition that can be resold. What doesn’t reach our shop floors may be repurposed into rags or directed to foreign aid—but anything unusable goes to landfill, and Lifeline covers the cost.

That’s money taken directly from crisis support.
Before donating, ask: Would I buy it, wear it or use it?

Please donate responsibly.
