Beneficiaries

Our initial focus has been on disadvantaged children in Macarthur, to meet our goal of being able to put something back into the area where we have lived most of our lives. We have spread and will continue to expand our efforts where special needs arise. One thing is certain, we don't need to look far to find kids worthy of a change of luck.

Beverley Park School

Located in central Campbelltown, this amazing school has been providing care and development for children since 1941. Seriously under-funded by government, they rely on the efforts of dedicated teachers and related professionals such as physiotherapists giving extraordinary amounts of their personal time. We found them running sausage sizzles and the like to fund basic requirements such as playground equipment.

Our website banner is a collage of images from the school, and Beverley Park School will always hold a special place with us.

In October 2007, we staged our inaugural fundraising dinner at Campbelltown Golf Club to benefit the school. From that evening we raised over $30,000 all of which was allocated to the school. Then, in December 2007, Macquarie Links International Golf Club donated their facilities to gift us proceeds from their annual charity event. This raised a further $9,000. The results meant that Beverley Park could fund resources that weren't even on the radar of their budget.

Signing Choir

Beverley Park School also has a remarkable "signing" choir. The children communicate in the way they are best able, whether that's by voice, signing, or simply even smiling to the beat. Their performance is one of the most inspiring things you'll have the pleasure of experiencing. Part of the funds we raised were therefore used to purchase sound equipment.

Physiotherapist Karen Trimingham spends hours of her personal time giving disadvantaged children's bodies and minds the extra attention they need.

The involvement of teachers, parents and helpers at Beverley Park is outstanding.
