🌿 Brothers and Sisters Foundation – Proud Partnership with Parks Victoria🌿

The Brothers and Sisters Foundation's ongoing partnership with Parks Victoria continues to make a meaningful difference through various community, heritage conservation and environmental projects at Werribee Park.

The Foundation is proudly participating in a number of projects led by Parks Victoria and Dr. Jasvinder Sidhu demonstrating our commitment to community development, accessibility, inclusion and heritage preservation.

We were recently invited to a special meeting attended by local Member of Parliament Mathew Hilakari MP where the Foundation's contributions and achievements were formally acknowledged.

Among our significant contributions:

🌸 Werribee Mansion Fabric Restoration Project:
The Foundation played an important role in raising funds and securing support for the purchase of a commercial sewing machine to assist with the restoration and preservation of historic fabrics at Werribee Mansion.

♿ Accessible Toilet at Werribee Park Rose Garden:
We helped secure support and funding for the construction and repair of an accessible toilet facility, improving access to the beautiful Rose Garden, particularly for people living with disabilities.

🌱 Award-Winning Silverbeet Project:
The Foundation is also a key participant in the multi-award-winning Silverbeet Project, supporting community engagement, gardening and environmental sustainability.

These initiatives reflect the importance of collaboration between community organisations, government agencies and local representatives in creating more inclusive, accessible and sustainable public spaces.

Brothers and Sisters Foundation is proud of its ongoing partnership with Parks Victoria and the leadership and contributions of Dr. Jasvinder Sidhu in advancing these valuable community initiatives.

We look forward to continuing this important work and making a lasting positive difference in our community.

Community partnerships delivering better access at .
Brothers & Sisters Foundation Incorporated is proud to announce the completion of the Upgrade to Toilet Facilities at Werribee Park, supported through the Australian Government’s Stronger Communities Programme Round 9.

This project is a great example of what can be achieved when community organisations, government and local partners work together to identify community needs and deliver practical outcomes.

The upgrade makes the Gatehouse toilet facilities at the main entrance to Werribee Park more accessible, safe and inclusive. Previously, visitors requiring accessible facilities had to travel around 150 metres to alternative toilets. The improvements will particularly benefit elderly visitors, people living with disability, families and people with mobility challenges.

We sincerely thank Joanne Ryan MP, Federal Member for Lalor, for her support through the Stronger Communities Programme and her continued engagement with local community organisations.

A special thank you to Dr Jasvinder Sidhu for his guidance, community engagement and support throughout the grant application and project process, and to of Parks Victoria for working closely with the Foundation and providing valuable advice and assistance in bringing the project to completion.

Werribee Park welcomes more than 500,000 visitors each year, making accessibility and inclusion an important part of ensuring everyone can enjoy this significant community space.
This outcome demonstrates the value of strong community partnerships and genuine engagement — listening to community needs, bringing the right people together and working collaboratively to turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.

We are proud to have played our part in making Werribee Park more accessible, inclusive and welcoming for everyone.

These certifications give him practical tools to understand thought patterns, improve communication, build confidence and support meaningful personal change — skills that align perfectly with our mission of community upliftment.

Our entire team is excited and honoured to have Jatinder bring this knowledge into our organisation.
His learning will help us guide individuals, youth, families and leaders with greater clarity, support and direction.

Congratulations, Jatinder — your growth strengthens our whole community.

Recently, AMES Australia, led by Dr Melika Sheik‑Eldin (International & Community Development Manager), reached out to the Brothers & Sisters Foundation Incorporated to conduct an important consultation session with senior members of our community.

As part of our commitment to supporting meaningful engagement, we contacted Western Community Connect and invited their Senior Group members to participate in this session. Their presence added real value, ensuring that the voices of our elders were heard with respect and dignity.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to for organising and coordinating this session with such dedication.

This consultation is part of a broader initiative to new and emerging communities to gather insights on ageing and aged care reforms in Australia. These conversations are essential to shaping a system that truly reflects the needs, culture, and lived experiences of our diverse communities.

The Brothers & Sisters Foundation is proud to support this work and to help bring community voices to the table.

The Brothers & Sisters Foundation Incorporated
continues to work alongside community partners, volunteers, and local organisations to address food insecurity and support vulnerable members of the community across Melbourne’s west.

What began as a simple community-driven initiative has now grown into a large-scale volunteer-supported project focused on providing fresh food, cooked meals, and grocery support to individuals and families experiencing hardship, including people affected by homelessness, family violence, financial stress, social isolation, and other challenges.

Since the project commenced, thousands of kilograms of fresh produce, including Silverbeet and other vegetables, have been grown and distributed through community kitchens, free food-share programs, and organisations supporting vulnerable communities. The initiative continues to rely on the dedication of hundreds of volunteers involved in planting, harvesting, cooking, packing, and distribution activities.

A key strength of the project has been the way diverse cultural communities have come together to contribute their time, skills, traditions, and spirit of service to support the wider community. The initiative demonstrates how grassroots community action and multicultural collaboration can help address social challenges and create meaningful social impact.

The Foundation also acknowledges the ongoing support and collaboration received from community organisations, volunteers, educational partners, and local stakeholders who continue to contribute to the success and sustainability of the initiative.

Beyond food support, the project has helped build stronger social connections, community participation, compassion, and understanding across different backgrounds and generations.

Together, we continue to grow not only fresh food, but also hope, dignity, inclusion, and community spirit.
