Bayside Family Christmas Event 2022
Once again, after a few years impacted by COVID, the ever popular Bayside Family Christmas Event took place on Wednesday 14th December, to spread some Christmas cheer and connections for disadvantaged Bayside families.
A wonderful example of a partnership between community organisations who came together to stage the event, it was an outstanding success and enabled us to make connections with our local community and community organisations.
Thanks to all the organisations that contribute a lot of time (not just on the day, but planning, coordination, and all that happens behind the scenes), the collaborative effort, contributions and dedication by all who make this event a success:- Hampton RSL, Hampton Rotary, BayCISS, Family Life, VICPOL (members from Bayside/Sandringham and Moorabbin’s Proactive team), Team Sports4All, Country Women’s Association, Enhanced Maternal Child Health, St Leonard’s College, Peter Malloy, Choc & Choc’s Chicks, Bayside Youth Services, and members of the Rotary Club of Brighton. Plus of course the Bayside Council for their funding support. The additional toys/presents collected were delivered to BayCISS and distributed before Christmas, again spreading more joy.
Special thanks to Hampton Rotary ‘elves’ who spent a day sorting gifts.
