At Pop-up Health we are trying to protect the vulnerable population by providing them access to vaccines in an environment that is safe for them.
COVID CLINIC HERE AT MARION CHURCH OF CHRIST ON MONDAY 24 JUNE FROM 12NOON- 3PM
Pop-Up Health advocate strongly for the vulnerable population within South Australia. Partnering with Adelaide PHN & Country PHN, our vaccination program allows vulnerable people to access COVID vaccinations at a time and location that is convenient and comfortable for them. This ensures they don’t ‘slip through the cracks’.
Since the commencement of this program, Pop-Up Health have administered over 3,000 COVID vaccinations to the vulnerable population of Adelaide. This significantly improves this group’s overall protection against COVID.
We have a dedicated team of nurse vaccinators, administration staff and program coordinators to support this COVID vaccination program, with a focus on reaching the vulnerable population and make a difference in improving their vaccination rates.
The Australian Faith Community Nurses Association (AFCNA) is an ecumenical Christian, professional nursing association seeking to promote and equip people for quality effective faith community care.
AFCNA is offering a short course that provides biblical responses and research-based practice to equip people for effective and ‘Compassionate Care for One Another’.
Upcoming course be held in Blackwood South Australia on Friday June 28th from 9 am - 3.30 pm. (PDF brochure attached)
All the details are in the attached brochure attached. Our community is experiencing a rapid increase of vulnerable people who need, but cannot obtain, effective and compassionate support. There is a rapid increase in mental distress, large increases in disrupted family relationships, a growing number of frail aged, huge numbers of people managing significant chronic health conditions in the community, and 20% of the population living with disabilities.
Improving the health and wellbeing of our people is at the forefront of the commandment to ‘Love your neighbour’, and the importance of adding a health focus to pastoral care can provide the changes we want to see in the care that our community certainly wants and needs. Yet there are few opportunities to equip people to provide effective, supportive and compassionate care that enable everyone to thrive.
AFCNA is addressing that gap and providing an low-cost opportunity for people to become the care that they want to see in their community. Almost everyone can learn how!
Please encourage people to avail themselves of this opportunity so your community is more effective and compassionate in their outreach response to vulnerable people within your community.
AFCNA is offering a one day ‘deep dive’ into 4 key themes that will be explored together:
o Why our care needs to be compassionate
o Who we care for – ‘whole’ person care
o How and when we can be most helpful
o What practical responses actually work
o Q&A discussion & practice included throughout
Yours In Christ’s service,

Dear Friends of MarionLIFE,
We are excited to announce the launch of our annual MarionLIFE Month!
For the month of June, would you consider partnering with MarionLIFE during our EOFY Appeal as we seek to raise $50,000 to continue to provide meaningful, flexible and responsive support to people in our community?
We are seeking to raise an average of $1000 per week, this amount will allow us to help ensure that we can cover the expenses of running our centre in the year ahead. Your donation helps people like, Erin*, who attends our Community Meal Program, “This Community Meal is very important to my family. I come very often to enjoy the lovely meal, meet new and old community meal friends. My kids really enjoy the meal and always feel cared for. We love attending and love the community, friendship, activities and food.” *Name changed.
Together we can positively impact community members who are courageously facing challenges in their lives, to build upon their resilience and expand their capacity.
Here are a few ways you could get involved this June:
- Become a regular donor, donations that are spread out over the year (for example once a month) help our sustainability, allowing us to plan ahead. Donations are tax deductible, click here to help us reach our target https://marionlife.org.au/donate/
- Give support through the gift of your time by signing up to volunteer with us, visit https://marionlife.org.au/volunteer/ or contact us to express your interest.
