Our page is to promote our community organisation in our local community and to let the community know what we are currently being involved with around the area.

Last Thursday, we visited Northern Rivers Animal Services Inc - NRAS for a visit.

What a phenomenal job these dedicated volunteers do! They show such care and compassion for the cats, dogs, puppies and kittens waiting for their forever homes

As a self funded charity, NRAS relies on community support. Here are two ways you can help:

Become a foster carer: Give an animal a warm, loving home while they wait for their forever family. NRAS provides all essential supplies, including food and health care.

Donate Dog and Cat Food: Donations can be dropped off at 61 Piper Drive, Ballina, weekdays from 10am to 4pm.

Thank you to the NRAS team for welcoming us and sharing the wonderful work you do, and to Trina for organising our visit.

💚 We’re so excited that a Green Seat is coming to Ballina!
Our club is proud to support Sally and The Green Seat Project and being there as Council unanimously supported this meaningful initiative.
Thank you, Sally and Monique, for sharing your stories so bravely and helping our community understand the impact on families living with a missing loved one.

Ballina! 💚 A green seat is coming!
Unanimous vote 🗳️ YES to a Green Seat at this morning’s monthly council meeting.
With the full support from Deputy Mayor Damian Loone and Mayor Sharon Cadwallader ~ the impact we made today for the missing was received with such great support from all the councillors. A few tears as Monique Cordery bravely spoke about the last 10 weeks of her life with regards to her sister Stephanie Cordery’s disappearance on August 5th from Ballina.
Mon and I both spoke about our journey’s in the missing space - some 29 years apart! Very impactful and important conversations. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be heard.
Massive thanks to Ballina on Richmond Rotary who has very generously donated $1000.00 towards this green seat. I presented to Rotary back in May this year and they have been nothing but supportive of TGSP. Them coming along today in person was very much appreciated.
A gentleman who himself was there for his own matter came up to me at the end and told me he’d love to donate to our charity and took one of my cards.
People are so amazed and shocked by what we share with them. We really are making an impact by sharing our experiences and bringing much needed attention and support to the missing space. Thank you Monique Cordery for joining me today 💚 you are so strong and amazing ~ Steph is so lucky to have a sister in you. Ballina Shire Council Rotary Ballina-on-Richmond

🏏 Celebrating Friendship, Fellowship and Service 🏏

We welcomed members of the International Fellowship of Cricket Loving Rotarians (IFCR) and their partners from Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, who chose Ballina as the destination for their cricket festival and joined us for dinner during their visit.

While the weather wasn’t very kind and our visitors only managed one day of cricket, they made the most of their time exploring our beautiful town and surrounds, enjoying good company and making new friendships.

We were also pleased to welcome District Governor Deb Frugtniet and Craig to share the evening with us as we celebrated three special membership milestones:
🌟 Clarissa — 30 years
🌟 Donella — 15 years
🌟 Jacqui — 5 years
Congratulations and thank you to Clarissa, Donella and Jacqui for the friendship, dedication and service you have shared with our club and community. 💙

It was a lovely evening bringing people together to celebrate the friendships and community spirit that make Rotary so special.
