HistoryThe roots of Samaritans was the Newcastle Anglican Board of Social Work operated by the Anglican Church in Newcastle. On October 14, 1984, the Newcastle Anglican Board of Social Work was redefined as the Samaritans Foundation (or “Samaritans”) with the expressed mission to “assist in the expansion of the social and community service work within the Diocese.” The organisation's early work began with a few key services including emergency relief, a family centre and op shops.[1] Homeless sheltersSamaritans operates a number if homelessness support services including youth refuges and women's shelters. Youth refugesSamaritans operates two youth refuges providing emergency accommodation for homeless youth. The refuges are:
Women's sheltersFollowing the NSW government’s Going Home Staying Home homelessness program, a number of women's refuges were closed, while others which had previously been feminist run domestic violence refuges were been handed over to large charity providers. In the wake of the reforms, Samaritans took over operations of the Kempsey Women’s Refuge, now operating as the Kempsey Homeless Support Service for Women.[5] PeopleIn February 2016, Samaritans appointed Peter Gardiner as the organisation's new CEO. The previous CEO, Cec Shevels, had held the post for 25 years before announcing his retirement from the Anglican organisation.[6] See also
