Giro Della Donna Piccolo Giro FREE Family Bike Ride
“It meant a lot to us to be supported by UYCE/Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Banks. Their support allowed us to add the family ride, the Piccolo Giro, to the Giro Della Donna weekend, and make it free for all to participate in. The smiles on kids’ faces as they dressed up their bikes, got their faces painted and rode out for some serious fun with family and friends was the highlight of the Giro Della Donna! Our sincerest thanks for getting behind us and behind the community”. -Michael Hands, Event Organiser, GIRO DELLA DONNA CYCLING

FOOD PARCELS, ADRA Redwood Community Centre
“I am retired and living off some savings so I have very little money. ‘Chewsday Bite’ every Tuesday helps me enormously. It means I get to eat good healthy food. Kate and her team of volunteers are wonderful. They are kind, caring and very supportive. I don’t know what I would do without their support. So thank you ADRA and thank you to all the other organisations that kindly donate.” * Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches provided sponsorship during the Covid19 pandemic
THERMAL CAMERA, Yarra Valley Bee Group Inc
“Yarra Valley Bee Group would like to thank June and the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Bank branches for their help and the generous sponsorship of our Flir Thermal Imaging Camera. YVBG is a not-for-profit community group educates the community on bee welfare and safety; new bee keepers on how to look after their bees; and the bio security of pests and diseases. As YVBG removes bees from inside home cavities, we use the thermal imaging camera to locate the centre of the hive, so as we can remove the bees with minimal damage to the property. We are most grateful for the support as we would have been unable to purchase such an expensive piece of equipment without it.” -James Dawes, Yarra Valley Bee Group Inc * Image is of a beehive in the garden taken by the camera, showing the 'hot spot', which is what helps us to determine where a nest of bees are in a house to enable a more efficient removal
WARBURTON GOLF AND SPORTS CLUB
"Thanks to the Warburton and Yarra Junction Community Banks a new path has been constructed leading from the 9th tee, across the bridge of the creek towards the 9th green. All players (members and public green fee players) can now walk safely and with confidence along this well constructed path. A great improvement on clambering over slippery grass with their buggies. Thank you very much again for your ongoing support". Ken Barratt, Warburton Golf and Sports Club
