Anzac Day 2020

While we may not be able to gather this year, there are still many great ways to acknowledge ANZAC Day and ensure Australian servicemen and women are appropriately remembered.

Here are some ways you can participate in ANZAC services happening around Australia on Saturday 25 April 2020.

Light up the dawn
At 6am on ANZAC Day, go to the end of your driveway or stand on your balcony and listen to a brief commemorative service. Together – even while apart – we’ll remember those who served and sacrificed.

Reach out to someone in need 
Many people are alone during this time of isolation. Engage in the ANZAC value of mateship and see how they are doing. Have a virtual catch up on Zoom or Facetime. You could even consider writing a letter to a lonely neighbour and leaving it on their doorstep.
