We are pleased to announce our support for RIMERN - the Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network which has recently opened in Brunswick.  
 
We are joining the Rotary Clubs of Prahran, Albert Park, Central Melbourne, Carlton, North Melbourne, Balwyn, Camberwell and Canterbury to establish the organisation.
 
Based at 32-34 Lincoln Street, East Brunswick this charity  provides free household goods to people experiencing loss and trauma.
They may have suffered from a range of crises, including long term illness, unemployment, domestic violence or homelessness, refugee displacement, incarceration or other situations of hardship, such as fire or flood.   
 
The premise is that followed by the Eastern Relief Network in Mitcham and Western Emergency Relief Network in Melton.
Through donations from businesses, real estate agencies and everyday people, they are able to offer basic household furniture, bedding, manchester and kitchen goods.
 
Referrals are accepted from accredited social service organisations who support those needing aid with the process.  Agencies working in the of Melbourne, south Moonee Valley, Port Phillip, Darebin, east Moreland, south Banyule and northern Bayside and Yarra are invited to apply for accreditation and to access resources.

RIMERN is run solely by volunteers so if you would like to assist, please contact Lesley.
