Lifeline Connect Broken Hill

🙏 THANK YOU, Broken Hill! 🙏
Around 70 people packed into Silver City Cinema for our charity screening of Don't Be Prey, and every single one stayed for the Q&A with Mark Sowerby and our own Brendan Cullen.

Feedback was fantastic — an inspiring and fascinating night all round. Huge thanks to everyone who donated, with every dollar going to Lifeline Connect Broken Hill.

Thank you again to Mark Sowerby, Kizmet and the Musicians Club for making the night possible in support of Lifeline SA and Far West NSW.

The next morning, our Ambassador Brendan Cullen had breakfast with Mark Sowerby and Today Show Presenter Tim Davies — all showing their support for our How's Ya Mate program.

Broken Hill, you never fail to show up. Thank you!

Join us this September as we Step Out of the Shadows for World Su***de Prevention Day.

Every day, nine Australians lose their lives to su***de. Together, we can honour those we've lost, support those who are struggling, and help raise awareness that no one has to face life's challenges alone.

Lifeline Regional SA and Far West NSW is inviting our community to take part in a meaningful walk to support this initiative. Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, to show your support, or simply to stand with your community, every step makes a difference.

We at Lifeline Regional SA and Far West NSW are saddened to inform you of the passing of our valued and loved former Board member and Company Secretary, Robin Edgecumbe.

Starting back in February 2015 Robin made a 10-year commitment to Lifeline and throughout that time he has always brought with him a genuine sense of warmth, generosity and compassion for supporting our local communities and people.

Robin spent most of his working life in Broken Hill where he worked primarily in the mining industry. Ever passionate about our regional communities he worked with Lifeline Australia to play a key role in merging Lifeline Broken Hill and Lifeline Country to Coast to create what is now known Lifeline Regional SA and Far West NSW.

Lifeline Regional SA and Far West NSW now operates a fleet of Lifeline OpShops, a Tip Shop and Warehouse, and Connect Centres at both Broken Hill and Clare in no small part thanks to Robin’s knowledge, skills and passion.

After retiring and moving to Clare, Robin was well known by many to drop in for a friendly chat and took a real interest in the work being done in Lifeline Connect Clare. His good nature and community spirit is something we will all remember him for.

He will be deeply missed and our thoughts are now with all of his family and friends
