We had Jenna Gandolfo from the CIty of Banyule who spoke about the Banyule Community Fund (BCF) and how organisations like Rotary can contribute to the Fund. Great discussions were had on helping our community directly versus going through another big organisation like Australian Community Foundation (ACF) who is managing the BCF. We were glad to note the Banyule Community Fund is also supporting local organisations like Neighbourhood houses, food hubs in Heidelberg West and Diamond Valley, relief of poverty and homelessness such as Hayden’s Helping Hands etc.
With respect to Olympic Adult Education, an organisation supported by the Rotary Club of Ivanhoe, the Club urged the Council to expedite the allocation of a permanent home to this well managed and valuable community resource.
