Bruce House Fundraiser 2026

Dear parents,

The distinct relationship between Bruce House and St. Peter's Eastern Hill has developed into a real special bond since its inception in 2018. During the eight years, students have raised funds to help buy a coffee cart, electrical items and food amongst other needed items to help feed the homeless people of Melbourne. The funds raised by the Bruce House community has helped so much that when students visit on a Monday morning, the locals line up to personally thank them for everything they have done. When the students see this, they are touched and moved and really understand the significance of what they are doing.

In 2026, Bruce House will once again help by hosting a fund-raising activity where all students will wear red on Friday 5th June. This also coincides with Casual Clothes Day. The boys will also be colouring their hair red using a water-based dye, which I understand fades and washes out with relative ease.

Our local community is facing a huge problem of homelessness and the students in Bruce House want to be a part of providing a solution. While we are actively working to help prepare and feed people every Monday morning, this fundraiser will go a long way to help the vulnerable of this city. Bruce House students need your help to make our efforts go even further.

We kindly ask that each student aims to raise $100 through their own efforts. This could include taking on small jobs, helping with chores, selling food, or finding other creative ways to contribute. The intention behind this is to encourage responsibility, initiative, and a sense of accomplishment. It would be greatly appreciated if students avoided simply withdrawing the money from their own bank accounts or relying on financial support from home. June 5th will serve as the official fundraising day; however, students are encouraged to commence their fundraising efforts immediately. All contributions must be finalised by the end of Term 2, which will act as the closing date.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping make this a meaningful experience for everyone involved. Your help is crucial to our efforts to improve the local community around us. Your donation will go towards helping the people of St. Peter's Eastern Hill.

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
