Watch Abbys story here

… every year, more and more young people like Abby are at risk of drifting from their faith, never to return.

Through your support, their stories can be different.

You can help turn lives around and create new beginnings.

“Being in a Christian environment at SU Leavers really reminded me of what I was choosing to leave and made me fall back in love with God. On coming home, I decided to finally reach out to God and ask for help.”

Abby

Abby’s story is one of hope. But there are countless children and young people like her right now in spaces of darkness and despair. You can help them turn a corner, lean into the light of God’s Good News and begin a new chapter afresh with him.

Your New Year gift will go towards:

Empowering young people like Abby to grow in their faith at pivotal moments through life-changing ministries like Leavers and SU-Schoolies, offering them a fresh start, grounded in Jesus’ love.
Opening doors to new beginnings for children, young people and families, by sharing God’s life-transforming love through beach and other community-based missions.
Being there when it matters most—meeting children and young people in their moments of need through chaplaincy, SUPA Clubs and Religious Education in Schools, providing hope and fresh direction.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my donation go?

Your New Year Appeal donation, unless otherwise stated, will go towards funding ministries where the need is greatest, such as the delivery of Christian camps and holiday programs like SU-Schoolies and Leavers, as well as community-based missions, especially those happening over the coming Christmas and New Year school holidays. 

Please note, these donations are not tax-deductible. A small portion of your gift also helps cover essential administration costs, including local field management, compliance, insurance, and marketing, which enable these ministries to run smoothly.

Can I make a tax-deductible donation?

Yes, you can! Select the “SU Australia Tax-Deductible” option in the donation form. Tax-deductible donations go towards:

  • Religious Education in Schools (REIS) and school-based groups like SUPA Clubs and ISCF groups;
  • training and equipping of Christian youth and ministry workers, including new chaplains, through our Registered Training Organisation – Scripture Union Institute of Training (SUIT);
  • protecting vulnerable children and young people from harm through ChildSafe; and, 
  • building projects at Camp Coolamatong, where children, young people and families experience Christian community and connection. 
If I want to support local ministry how can I do that?

While the purpose of this appeal is to raise funds nationally for the ministry areas in greatest need, you can still direct your gift locally. 

Simply choose your region (e.g. “SU Australia in WA”) from the dropdown menu on the donation form below. Non tax-deductible donations support local camps, missions, and chaplaincy programs (if applicable to your region). Tax-deductible donations support local ministries like Religious Education in Schools (REIS), School Groups, including SUPA Clubs and ISCF groups, and other areas mentioned in the tax-deductible question.

How can I pray for SU's New Year Appeal?
  • Please pray that God will continue to provide opportunities for ministry growth, despite the financial challenges we face. As the cost of living increases, fewer donations means fewer young people having access to life-changing programs.
  • Pray for generous hearts and the ongoing impact of our work.
How can I sign up for a monthly or regular gift?

To set up a recurring donation, select “monthly,” “quarterly,” or “yearly” in the frequency section of the donation form. Regular donations help us plan for the future and sustain our ministry.

We call our regular donors “SUper Heroes” because they make such a lasting impact.
