Bauer Media has launched #RebuildOurTowns, a campaign to support the towns affected by the bushfires, now and for the months to come.

Through inspiring stories and in-depth reporting from the ground, Bauer is encouraging Aussies to lend a hand and support the regeneration of our communities.

Led by Woman’s Day, each week a spotlight will shine on a different Australian town in need of rebuilding.

Readers will be given practical advice about how they can make a difference – from which local fundraisers need donations, to ways in which they can support locals and small businesses in townships doing it tough. 

It could be aiding farmers who need fencing supplies, schools which are short of books and other resources, or getting the community hall back up and running so locals can gather and support one another.

"Our readers have huge hearts. They are looking for practical ways in which they can help their fellow Aussies as townships around the country embark on the enormous task of rebuilding their communities," said Fiona Connolly, publisher – Bauer Media’s weekly magazines. 

"Our sincere hope is that through our strong connections to regional Australia we can connect our readers with each other and bring relief to those who need it most in the ways they need it most."

Woman's Day will also donate 50c from every issue sold this week towards bushfire relief. In addition, Bauer is working with print company Ovato to redistribute magazines where nationwide circulation has been affected by the ongoing crisis. This stock will be forwarded instead to evacuation and relief centres across the country.
