Warrawee Public School – Shopping Program
“Bendigo Banks very generation donation will allow one of our support classes to participate in a community access shopping program. Real life experiences enrich awareness and assist students to better understand their world. This program will focus on numeracy, literacy, road safety awareness, communication and social skill development. In order to implement this program, we require extra SLSO support and this donation will greatly assist in funding that support.”

St Ives Rotary Club – Supporting St Judes
“Please accept our deepest thanks for choosing St Jude’s for this very generous donation! I know the Turramurra and Lindfield branches do a lot of good work supporting the local Ku-ring-gai community. And now your generosity will also reach the local community of Arusha, where our school is providing free, quality education to 1,800 children who are most in need. From everyone at St Jude’s, thanks so much.”

Roseville Junior Rugby Club
“Roseville Junior Rugby Club is very appreciative of the generous support provided by the Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches. For a small club like ours, it is difficult to obtain sponsorship so it is particularly special for us to have their support. Without help like this, young players would not have access to good jerseys and up to date equipment.”

Early Ed
“The generous donation of Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches helps EarlyEd continue to fund family support services to those families who have just received a diagnosis of disability for their child and others in need. The evidence shows that when parents receive early emotional support, their children can have better outcomes due to the early intervention services.”

Cromehurst School
“The Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank have been fantastic supporters of our Cromehurst community both in terms of practical day-to-day banking needs but also the provision of very generous grants.

Most importantly all the bank staff are incredibly supportive and interested in whatever we are up to and always willing to go above and beyond to help us in any way they can.”

Save Marian St Theatre
Marian Street Theatre was left with no choice but stretch resources and rent temporary space in Gordon when Ku-ring-gai council closed the theatre at 2 Marian Street, Killara in December 2013. This was following advice to council that the site is unsafe. Since this time the MST has been fighting to return to their iconic home in Killara. The grant from Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank will be used to assist in the campaign to Save Marion St Theatre.
