With the generous support of local residents, Sunshine Bendigo has made a significant impact in the community, distributing approximately $673,317 worth of baby and children’s goods in 2023/2024, assisting 2,488 children.

The core of Sunshine Bendigo's success lies in its dedicated volunteers. These tireless individuals are the driving force behind the organisation, enabling it to fulfil its mission of supporting vulnerable families. Founder Glenda Serpell takes immense pride in the commitment and compassion shown by the volunteers, who play an indispensable role in delivering much-needed services to the community, especially to families facing significant challenges.

Sunshine Bendigo's survival and sustainability depend on the unwavering support of the Bendigo community. The organisation encourages locals to get involved in various ways, whether by donating pre-loved baby goods, purchasing new items for donation, or offering financial assistance. This community-driven approach is vital in ensuring that Sunshine Bendigo can continue its essential work of helping families in need.

To further its mission, Sunshine Bendigo hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Picnic at the Pavilion, the Ladies Spring Lunch, and the Mother’s Day High Tea. These events not only raise essential funds but also bring the community together, fostering a spirit of unity and collective kindness.

Following the great success of community-centred events, McKean McGregor is delighted to announce the ‘Ladies Golf Day’, hosted by McKean McGregor Partner Amy Sim, a special event dedicated to supporting the vital work of Sunshine Bendigo. Set to take place on the greens of the Bendigo Golf Course on the 18th of October, this event invites participants to enjoy a day of golf, fun and community spirit.

The McKean McGregor Ladies Golf Day aims to bring together women from across Bendigo. By joining in on this day, participants will not only enjoy a great day of golf and time with friends.

This event promises not only to highlight the spirit of the Bendigo community but also to offer a significant opportunity for local businesses and community groups to engage and network in a relaxed yet elegant setting.

Sunshine Bendigo is cherished throughout Bendigo and its surrounding areas for its compassionate service and the generosity of its supporters. The organization's efforts are a testament to the power of community spirit and the profound impact that collective kindness can have on people's lives.
