Thanks to Bendigo Bank, Blackburn South Community Bank.
Over the past year the Community Bank has supported us by helping to cover various of our running costs.
This has meant that more of our limited resources have been available to help people in need than would otherwise have been possible.
The support we have received from the bank has made a lot of difference to a lot of people.
THANK YOU!
