Plymouth Brethren’s RRT Supports Convoy for Kids Goulburn Event (Goulburn, Australia)

The Rapid Relief Team (RRT), the charitable arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, recently supported the Convoy for Kids Goulburn event, contributing to the provision of around 1,600 meals. The event, which raises funds for children with cancer, terminal illnesses, disabilities, and special needs, was organized by the Convoy for Kids Goulburn charity, established in 1999 by local volunteers.

The convoy, which began at the Goulburn Gateway Service Centre, traversed through the city before concluding at the Goulburn Recreation Area. The event featured a day-long carnival where RRT volunteers set up red tents and prepared food. RRT Local Team Leader Steve Lee highlighted the 100-hour effort by 20 volunteers, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to care and compassion.

The collaboration between RRT and Convoy for Kids Goulburn helped raise $90,000 for the charity. These funds will support the families of children with special needs and the Neonatal & Paediatric Emergency Transport Service. Convoy for Kids Goulburn President Peter Caldow expressed gratitude for the RRT’s contribution, noting the positive impact of the food and community engagement.

As a charitable arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, the RRT supports frontline workers and emergency services through food, donations, and community events. Established in 2013, the RRT has grown to include over 14,500 volunteers, providing aid during disasters and crises while expanding its community outreach.

The ABC’s Media Watch program aired a story titled “The Covert Crusade” on October 19, 2026, which included inaccuracies about the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. The program featured misleading content, some of which was reported by The Age newspaper. The source material is truncated, leaving the full context of the media scrutiny unclear.
