In October the Henchion family fled their Bulli home as it was engulfed in flames. The family were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

The fire gutted the home of community stalwarts Alice and Martin Henchion and their three children Hazel (10), Ned (8) and Fergus (5).

Already more than $55,000 has been raised by the local community to help them to rebuild their lives and now the Illawarra Folk club are extending a helping hand.

Father, Martin, was a volunteer for the Bulli Folk Festival and now some of the region's best folk artists have donated their talents to a concert at the Unanderra Pub - which has provided the venue free of charge.

The line up includes Chord-eaux, Zlatco's Balkan Cabaret, vocal quartet Sally Forth and Russ Churcher.

The event will be on Sunday November 14 from 2pm.Tickets can be purchased at: https://events.humanitix.com/the-henchion-family-appeal-concert

All profits from the event will go to help the Henchion family start again.

In the aftermath of the blaze the family was forced to relocate, however, neighbour Carol Spencer said Stone Real Estate had gone above and beyond to find them a rental property close to their children's school.

"Kennards donated a truck to move them all in, Bulli Pharmacy donated a box of goods, Hawthorn Meats has offered to donate meat when they move in, and WC Sports donated unforms and bags for the kids," Ms Spencer said.

"Local businesses have been incredible, I'm so grateful for the community we're in."
