Empowering Local Clubs to Drive Positive Change Across Our Community

We supported several Rotary and Clubs, recognising the valuable role these organisations play in fostering community spirit and building meaningful connections among members. Through their volunteer efforts and local initiatives, they contribute to a wide range of charitable projects, social activities, and community development programs. By backing these clubs, we help strengthen their capacity to make a positive difference, promote social engagement, and enhance the well-being of people across our community.

“The support of the Community Bank has resulted in increased participation in our club’s numerous activities which are provided to reduce isolation, improve well-being and mental health.” Greythorn Probus. 

“The funding we received supported a free family fun day for 300 children with disability, their parents and carers from Interchange Outer East,” Rotary Club of Balwyn.
