We are proud to sponsor the Bathurst Surf Life Saving Club team at their charity golf day this weekend, raising funds for the Kidney Kids Youth and Kids program.

For 22 years, the team has been raising money for Kidney Health Australia and have raised just shy of $1 million over that time. An incredible effort supporting an important cause.

Well done to Richie Farrar, Peter Ward and Graham Ward.

THE BIG LUNCH is a free community meal that operates from Cafe VIVA every Thursday, employing people living with disabilities at full award rates of pay. We have served almost 15000 free meals since October 2023. It's just one of the ways we support our community, while creating opportunity for real employment and social inclusion. Today THE BIG LUNCH was named Bathurst's Community Event of The Year.
