At Beaumaris Rotary we aim to focus our Service and Support activities in key areas, consistent with Rotary International’s 7 Areas of Focus:
For example, Beaumaris Rotary has supported programs at Beaumaris Secondary College designed to help students who are at risk of disengaging from school. We are actively looking at opportunities to help make a difference in the area of youth mental health. Over the past few years, we have also supported the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School in Richmond helping Indigenous children on their education and development pathway
We actively support Maternal and Child Health in PNG through our connection with the Highlands Foundation and donations to Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) and Interplast.
In the past year we have supported a variety of local organisations in different ways. These include:
- BayCISS, Bayside Community Information & Support Service – providing non-perishable food items.
- Bayside Community Care – providing non-perishable food items.
- Matt’s Place – funding a monthly meal service and kitchen equipment.
- Impact – providing personal care items, packing and wrapping gift packs, and delivering “Bags of Love”.
- Angel Tree Project – providing and wrapping Christmas gifts for the children of incarcerated parents.
- Sandringham Hospital – funding equipment for the upgraded Emergency Department and new Outpatients Area.
- Team Sports 4 All – helping to fund access to community sport for children, no matter their circumstances.
We try to make difference in our wider community. We actively support the Rotary Foundation and its Polio Plus appeal, Australian Rotary Health, Rotarians Against Malaria and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
We raise funds to support our activities and service projects through two Charity Golf Days, our Farmers Market and adhoc fundraising activities promoted by our members. Take a tour around our website to discover the extent of our activities.
