We are excited to announce Jackie O will be donating all the profits from her book ‘The Whole Truth’ to Odyssey.

Odyssey is truly thankful to Jackie O for her generous donation and for courageously sharing her own story. This thoughtful support will make a direct impact providing essential rehabilitation services for people facing challenges related to alcohol and other drug use.

Demand for our services has reached an all-time high. Last year, treatment enquiries increased by 43%, and we provided support to a record number of clients. It costs approximately $360 per day per person for someone to access our residential care program, Jackie’s donation will mean Odyssey can support more people to turn their lives around.

 

“We’re deeply grateful to Jackie for choosing to support Odyssey House NSW. This gift will make a tangible difference to people reaching out for support with alcohol and other drug issues. Every day our team provides compassionate care for individuals, families and communities facing substance use challenges and we know there are more people who need support. We work hard to meet the needs of the community and Jackie’s support will enable us to reach more people in need.”   

– Carmel Tebbutt, CEO
