Pancake Day | Shrove Tuesday 2021

Shrove Tuesday is known as Pancake Day in Australia.
Tuesday 16 February 2021

It is the last day before Lent for many Christians.

Many Australians make and share pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Selling pancakes to raise money for charity is a popular activity. Some churches, businesses and charities hold Pancake Day events by making fresh pancakes and selling them. Proceeds from these events go towards various causes, such as support for low-income families who are experiencing tough times.

UnitingCare Pancake Day is a fun and easy way to raise funds to support UnitingCare's work with the homeless, abused and vulnerable children and adults, the frail aged, families in crisis and those with disabilities.

Every year people come together for UnitingCare Pancake Day to flip for a good cause. The reality is that 1 in 7 Australians are living in poverty with 1 in 6 children affected, that's 2.9 million Australians too many. By hosting your very own Pancake Day event, you will be helping Australians living in crisis including those suffering homelessness, domestic violence, addictions and financial hardship.

Make sure to register for UnitingCare held at any time throughout February.
