The Bushfires in Victoria have shocked us all this week and we wanted to pass on details on how you can help those in need.

The
2009 Victorian Bushfire Fund to assist individuals and communities
affected by devastating bushfires in Victoria was just launched by Victorian
Premier John Brumby in partnership with Red Cross and the Federal
Government.

As at
7:30pm tonight, the Fund had received $8.6 million from
over 49,000 website and phone donations, with government and corporations pledging
additional sums. Donations are still continuing to flow in.

Donations can be made using our secure online donations form or by phoning 1800 811 700.
