Bush Christmas 2020 - Review
2025- WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME CONTENT AND PICTURES MAY BE HARD TO VIEW AND WE PAY OUR RESPECTS TOWARD ELDERS PASSED. PERMISSION WAS GIVEN BY THE ELDER WHO CHANGED THE FUTURE OF MANY
The Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services is a registered business that was Auspiced by Life Beyond Barriers Inc, under the Charity regulation Act (ACNC) .
Life Beyond Barriers Inc in August 2019 started a Journey to create and support rural communities and build a legacy for Eldier/ TO Aunty Rhonda Towney/ Read of Peak hill .
Edward and Aunty Rhonda spoke about modelling the Macarthur - South Sydney Christmas Appeal in rural NSW and then the Journey started from sydney to Peak Hill, Bogan River, Parks, Forbes and Dubbo.
Within running the first trial one in Dec 2019, Aunty Rhonda created a business name with her son David Towney and our chairman Edward to continue a partnership( Business Model), that would provide support to Aboriginal and Non Aboriginal communities in Rural NSW.
Aunty Rhonda worked none stop and tirelessly with our Board, Volunteers and partners in our office in Narellan, along side Dreamtime Explorers Aust to then created a foundation to support Communities in Rural NSW.
Aunty Rhonda Towney was supported in transport and help by her close friend in Peak Hill - Bec Stevenson to give her the freedom of logistics and packing.
In Dec 2020 and the following year in 2021 the Bush Christams was renamed by Aunty Rhonda Towney and continued to grow with Christmas presents, food, hampers,clothing and a toy run.
In August 2021 our Chairman ( Edward) with Life Beyond Barriers Inc assisted with the business model and documents to create a charity model with Aunty Rhonda Towney and her Service Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services to assist the foundation for the community and its future.
Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services is operated by Traditional Owner Aunty Rhonda Towney from Peak Hill, with transport support from her son David Towney. The service is a registered business and is NOT a Charity service, hence why being Auspiced by LBB.
The service is run on a volunteer model that was created by LBB Chairperson in consultation with Aunty Rhonda Towney to create more support for the rural Communities over the Covid period and has continued to grow with the support of the communities.
Aunty Rhonda Towney identified the lack of service delivery within the Aboriginal Communities and the importance of overcoming the Gap. With the assistance of Volunteers, her son- David Towney, and key partners ( Life Beyond Barriers inc, Second Bite, Foodbank, and PCYC- NSW Police) . It has supported the community every week with food, meals, essential items, Clothing, and the Bush Christmas and Winter Appeal, by the one beautiful act of kindness, strength, motivation, love of culture and many hours of free work for her community ( Traditional Owner/ Elder Aunty Rhonda Towney/ Read was able to empower people of all culture) .
Aunty Rhonda Towney and her Volunteer team have continued to work tirelessly every week to cater to over 200 families in Peak Hill, Dubbo, Wellington, Condo, Broken Hill, and Walgett communities by the support of the founding charity - Life Bryond Barriers Inc.
Life Beyond Barriers Inc Board of Directors had to discontinue the Auspicing of the Yindyamarra Aboriginal Service from Feb 10th, 2022. Unfortunately, because of the inability for it to be supported further by our funding bodies and lack of resources to support their service further, assisting with funding applications, and building a stronger and supported community from partners in Sydney NSW. We worked a growing parntership that Aunty Rhonda would then partner with Yibamarra Charity Services to continue the growth and further funding for her legacy to continue.
Our Hearts will always be with looking for further funding to support Rural Aboriginal communities.
