❤️ Compassion in Action at Vinnies Nerang
St Brigid’s Vinnies Conference — part of the St Vincent de Paul Society — continues to be a vital source of support for Nerang locals doing it tough.
Based at St Brigid’s Catholic School and powered by just 14 dedicated members, the Conference provides practical assistance to individuals and families experiencing hardship. From food and fuel vouchers to help with rental costs, their team works tirelessly to ensure no one in our community has to face difficult times alone.
This year’s Community Fund grant from Nerang RSL will go directly toward the purchase of food and fuel vouchers — extending the reach of this important frontline support.
We’re proud to continue backing the tireless work of Vinnies in Nerang.

🦽Rolling Support for Local Recovery
The Australian Red Cross Nerang is aligned with the Red Cross’ proud 110-year history of delivering practical care and support – and brings that legacy to life right here in our local community.
From their Ferry Street base, 18 dedicated volunteers run a beloved op shop and medical hire service, helping locals access affordable clothing and vital medical equipment such as crutches and wheelchairs. These services not only assist with recovery at home but also ease pressure on hospitals and healthcare providers.
However, due to regular wear and tear (and the occasional missing return), wheelchair replacements are an ongoing challenge. In 2025, the team reached out to Nerang RSL for help — and we were proud to assist with funding for several new wheelchairs.
Our support ensures this essential service can continue supporting the wellbeing, dignity and independence of those who need it most.
