What an incredible response to this year’s Red Shield Appeal across South Coast Gippsland!
We’re blown away once again by the generosity and spirit of our local community.

Not only did we see fantastic financial support, but we also had some really meaningful conversations and moments of connection through our events.

One highlight was our Red Shield Concert on Saturday 31st May, featuring five brilliant local brass bands from Leongatha, Wonthaggi and Warragul. While we sadly missed singing group Serenity due to illness, it was still a fantastic afternoon of music, community, and shared purpose.

And there’s still more to come!
🎪 Join us for our Red Shield Market on Saturday 21st June – a fun and friendly event with stalls, food, and a great cause.
🧼 Red Shield Soaps are still available to order – a perfect way to support the Appeal while grabbing a beautiful gift or treat for yourself.

Thank you, South Coast Gippsland, for standing with us. Your support brings hope where it's needed most. ❤️🎺

What a beautiful day to be out collecting at the Long and Ogilvy Street intersection in Leongatha! I'm constantly blown away by the generosity of our local community. With the rising cost of living, ongoing drought, and added pressure on our farmers, the need around us is growing—but so is the kindness.

Every dollar raised here stays right here, helping those in our own backyard. So if you're passing through the lights and can spare a few pingers, we’d be incredibly grateful. Thank you for being part of the hope!
