Our Board

David & Kerry Jackson

David and Kerry have been supporting the rural farmers for over 45 years following drought, flood and fires. David was a Chaplain for the Rural Fire Service for more than 25 years. 

He was born and bred on a farm and understands the unique needs of rural communities. As a result, Dave is well equipped to help those who are financially and emotionally impoverished through difficult circumstances on their land.

Kerry was trained as a registered nurse and works closely with David. Her nursing training enables her to understand individuals and communicate with those in acute need, particularly with country women, as she provides practical and emotional support.

Michael & Janene Dutschke

Mick and Janene understand first hand the effects of drought, having lost their family farm in 2010, but have been able to lease back the property to keep farming.

They are the pastors of 3CN Church in Nyngan since 2008.  The Church is actively involved in the local community and provides a weekly food bank service.

Mick and Janene are board members with Life Charity Focus, which provides education, food, clothing and medical help to underprivileged children in Uganda, through its sponsorship programme. 

Andrew Hunter

Andrew Hunter has recently sold his successful air conditioning business which he established in 2000. Andrew’s abilities in business enabled him to build this company into a respected Sydney business. This sale enables him to devote more time to the management of Western Air Care.

He has been working as a volunteer for not-for-profit organisations and on charitable boards for over 40 years and is committed to honesty and excellence in his endeavours, with a vision to build charities that assist those who are in need and who may be overlooked in mainstream support.
