We are very pleased to have Dan McAloon, the Relationship Manager from the National Office of Frontier Services in Sydney here to speak with us today at all three of our services.

Here is some information from their website.

Frontier Services is a national charity working on behalf of people living in remote areas, which covers 85% of Australia. Our primary purpose is to raise funds in order to support the Uniting Church in Australia, through its network of Patrol Ministers, in their pastoral work with Indigenous communities, isolated properties, mining sites and other remotely located communities. 

Frontier Services also provides drought relief and other forms of practical
community support through its volunteer assistance program known as “Outback Links”.

Our mission: “To support, link and empower the people of Outback Australia by creating connections and mobilising resources”.

Frontier Services is a charity and national agency of the Uniting Church that grew out of the pioneering work begun in 1912 by the Rev John Flynn “Flynn of the
Inland” – the man on the $20 note.

As the successor in the Uniting Church to the Australian Inland Mission, Frontier Services has sought to work with and empower communities and individuals to overcome the disadvantages of living in remote locations for more than 100 years.

We are able to support their work today through our retiring offering.
