Over
the past year, the
South Hobart
Community
Bank® Steering
Committee has been
working hard to
raise sufficient
interest from the
local community to
establish a
Community Bank® in
South Hobart.
Community Bank®
branches are making
contributions to
communities across
Australia which go
beyond simply
banking. Owned by
local people and
backed by Bendigo
Bank, the national
network of branches
has contributed more
than $148 million to
their communities.
These funds have
helped provide
much-needed
financial support
for community
groups, clubs and
not-for-profit
groups that are the
backbone of local
communities. They
have helped artists,
students, sporting
enthusiasts,
musicians,
conservationists and
many others to
achieve great
things.
Through the process
of working to set up
a Community Bank® we
have realised that
we need to expand
our reach beyond
South Hobart and
engage with a wider
community.
So, we are asking
for your help. The
South Hobart
Community Bank®
Steering Committee
invites you, as a
leader in your local
community, to come
along to a workshop
on Friday 22 July
2016 from 2pm – 4pm
to help us expand
our reach and
re-energise our
efforts to establish
a Community Bank® in
the foothills of
Mount Wellington.
The newly
constructed Lady
Gowrie Child Care
Centre has kindly
offered to host us
for the afternoon.
We will hear from
Bendigo Bank staff
and from Community
Bank® representatives
who have
successfully set up
branches in their
local communities.
Half of the profits
from every
successful Bendigo
Community Bank® is
returned to the
local community -
that’s one powerful
reason to help make
it happen!
The Workshop Details are:
Friday,
22 July 2016 from
2pm – 4pm
Lady Gowrie Child
Care Centre
Davey Street
