South Australia’s Cancer Council’s new building is now fully operational
On behalf of TRILITY and Riverland Water, Max Gray, TRILITY’s Operations Manager Riverland Region and Caroline Kerkhof, Head of Communications, recently
toured the newly opened Cancer Council SA building. Both were impressed with what they saw and how the donation made by Riverland Water back in 2021
contributed to this visionary new project from Cancer Council SA.
The Riverland Water Project, which delivers drinking water to approximately 150,000 people in the region, has made a $10,000 donation to Cancer Council SA’s
new, integrated cancer building at 202 Greenhill Road, Eastwood.
A once-in-a-generation project for Cancer Council SA, the building will combine cancer research, prevention and support alongside 120 rooms of supportive
accommodation for regional and remote South Australians impacted by cancer.
The $10,000 donation funded a kitchen on the building’s ground floor, which now provides meals to guests staying in Adelaide for cancer treatment. Cancer
Council SA Chief Executive Kerry Rowlands said the kitchen is a vital support service for guests during their stay. “At times during treatment, guests who would
normally like to cook their own meals are simply too exhausted to do so.”
At the time of the donation, Vincent Tremaine AM, Chair of Riverland Water, said that Riverland Water was incredibly proud to be able to support such an
important project for regional South Australians impacted by cancer. “We know that Cancer Council SA provides more than 3,000 nights of accommodation to
Riverland residents every year, which just shows how crucial this service is to those in our community,” Mr Tremaine said.
This visionary new project from Cancer Council SA is now fully operational, and Riverland residents impacted by cancer receive the services and support they
need for generations to come.
Ms Rowlands thanked Riverland Water for their generous donation:
“It’s only through the support of organisations like Riverland Water that we are able to progress with this visionary new project, which will give every South
Australian impacted by cancer every chance,” she said.
Going forward
TRILITY’s work with the region Councils continues with the donation of some sensory playground equipment, which is planned for completion in early 2024,
and a summer school program with the South Australian State Theatre and Riverland Youth Theatre.
