Yesterday was a great day for people of all abilities (and all ages) in the Illawarra, with the ribbon cut for the Stuart Park All Ages All Abilities Playground.

Providing opportunities to enjoy a range of play options for children, young people and adults with disability, the All Abilities Playground features custom sized and specifically featured equipment for adults and those in wheelchairs.

The Disability Trust and community-driven initiative was funded by the Australian Government, NSW Government, Wollongong City Council and a range of local business institutions, including an #IMBBankCommunityFoundation in 2021.

The IMB Bank Team had a ball at the Bikers Toy Run in Newcastle last weekend. It was amazing to see so many people out enjoying the sunshine and supporting people in need this Christmas through the Salvation Army Gift Giving Appeal.

It’s not too late to donate gifts. Simply visit any IMB branch and leave your donations under the tree before Friday December 15th.

The National Gallery of Australia hosted our presentation for the #IMBBankCommunityFoundation ACT/Southern NSW grant recipients on Monday, November 13th.

In keeping with the Foundation’s grassroots focus, the recipients in attendance represented a wide variety of projects, each addressing local community needs: from a teen driver safety program, to a native animal sanctuary, to men’s sheds, the RFS, plastic recycling, and more.

Special thanks to Kristine Hewett, whose keynote speech gave real insight to the work of Adamas Nexus Registered Charity, a Canberra-based volunteer support group which helps survivors of domestic, partner and sexual abuse recover, rebuild and re-engage.
