Refugee Donation Drive

Your support is needed this winter - we are partnering with BASP to support refugees in our community.

The Brigidine Asylum Seekers Project (BASP) has been working in Albert Park since 2001. With support from people in the Port Phillip community and wider Melbourne, BASP have provided food, housing, English classes, employment assistance, legal and medical support, and donations of money.

Your support is needed this winter - we are partnering with BASP to support refugees in our community by providing them with much-needed household items and funds.

Get involved by visiting the BASP website or by dropping your donations to any of our library branches!
