St Vincent de Paul Flyer


This flyer's purpose is to seek out more donators for the Sponsor the Potential program, specifically targetting corporate workplaces. The flyer starts off with a colloquialism existing amongst city employees and includes the case study of Jill in hopes of 'pulling' the audience in for donations. The reader may be in passing and not have enough time to stop and read thoroughly, therefore the descriptive language used will make their decision of donating easier. This flyer could be placed in office receptions, sent out to employers or e-mailed throughout the workplace.

We’ve seen first-hand the growing prevalence of homelessness in Australia; men and women being forced to live on the streets of our city. The St Vincent de Paul Society has been helping these citizens for over 70 years. The Matthew Talbot Homeless Services have helped by:

-          Creating the Matthew Talbot hostel and outreach services in the inner city
-          Addressing issues of alcohol and drug abuse
-          Providing the Ozanam Education Centre to end the cycle of domestic violence

Working on unique cases on a daily basis, Matthew Talbot Homeless Services (MTHS) has assisted many in need by being there for them every step of the way to independence. From services to accommodation, education and training, social reconnection, meals, MTHS has experienced some extraordinary individuals who have been able to turn their lives around.

Jill, 41, and her two teenagers were homeless a year ago. They were evicted from their 5 year rented flat with no explanation and, for the first time, Jill was unable to secure another tenancy. She was forced to decline an offer from a woman’s refuge because they could not take her son.
After receiving a call from Vincentian house, she was in good hands. They were committed to providing her with housing and keeping her family together. St Vincent’s de Paul had invested the time and energy to breaking their cycle of homelessness.

There are many stories similar to Jill's. Matthew Talbot Homeless Services needs the support of your company to maintain this greatly needed assistance. It would make a larger impact than you think. Giving the gift of someone’s potential in life would make a world of difference for their future.
