BlueScope WIN Community Partners support Barnardos South Coast Centre
Thanks to the generous support of the BlueScope WIN Community Partners Grant, Barnardos South Coast Centre has been able to purchase much-needed supplies and resources for their local facility. This funding has helped ensure they can continue to provide essential services to families and children in the community, fostering a safe, supportive environment for those who need it most.
Barnardos staff were able to purchase essential supplies and resources to clean and paint the facility’s interior, build and arrange new furniture, and provide toys and books. They also refreshed the garden, creating a more welcoming environment for child and family services, as well as educational support.
The Barnardos team were joined by local volunteers and corporate partner, The Giving Movement , who got stuck into cleaning, tidying, and painting tasks, whilst others took on the responsibility of gardening and constructing brand new furniture to complement the centre’s new look.
We’re proud to see this opportunity make such a positive impact on the South Coast, and grateful for the support that allowed Barnardos staff and volunteers to refresh the Bundaleer centre and strengthen our connection with the local community.
“Thank you to BlueScope WIN for the opportunity to refresh the Bundaleer Learning Centre. With your support, we have been able to purchase a new oven to enhance cooking activities with children and families, introduce new furniture that fosters a calm and engaging learning environment, refresh our internal doors with new paintwork, and add play mats, a play kitchen, and a revitalized garden space.
The feedback from our community and staff has been overwhelmingly positive—everyone is loving the fresh and inviting atmosphere! Your support helps us provide a space that is critical for outreach and learning support, ensuring children and families experiencing disadvantage in our community have the resources and opportunities they need to break cycles of disadvantage. “
— Melissa Andrews, Program Manager, Barnardos South Coast
“How great to have an oven that works—now we can cook nachos with the young people! That’s been on their wish list for ages.”
