THE Combined Refugee Action group of Geelong (CRAG) is hosting a ten-hour concert at St Paul’s Church later this month to raise money and awareness for the plight of refugees.<\/p>\n

The committee has been trying to run the Jam for Refugees event for two years but each have been cancelled due to COVID, although CRAG did manage a Radio Jam last year that raised over $4,000.<\/p>\n

“As the number of refugees worldwide increases daily, the situation becomes almost overwhelming,” Jam organiser Terry Norman said.<\/p>\n

“We in Geelong cannot hop to solve the world refugee problem, but we can make our own contribution to the refugees in our area.<\/p>\n

“Recent events, especially Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have only added to the refugee problem and the enormous suffering being experienced.”<\/p>\n

Mr Norman has previously staged the event for a number of years in Canberra, but it will be the first time it’s been held in Geelong.<\/p>\n

All funds raised on the day will be donated to CRAG’s legal fund that is used to assist refugees as they navigate Australia’s immigration system.<\/p>\n

A barbecue on the Latrobe Terrace church grounds will also donate all its proceeds to the cause.<\/p>\n

Acts on the day include well known musicians and choirs from around the Geelong region including the Sonos Ensemble, Geelong Choral, North Children’s Choir and Marie Goldsworthy and John Hughson.<\/p>\n

Author and social researcher Hugh Mackay will deliver a recorded talk during the event that will be opened by former Geelong Mayor and well-known business figure Keith Fagg, and closed by federal MP for Corangamite Libby Coker.<\/p>\n

Between acts there’ll also be talks from refugees and people that work with them in the region.<\/p>\n

Entry to the Jam is by donation, and takes place on Saturday, October 29 at St. Paul’s Church in Geelong, between 11.00am and 9.00pm<\/p>\n
