Rushworth & District Community Bank - Partnering with Girgarre
Bendigo Bank and Community Bank ® opened
Bendigo Bank House 12 months ago providing
short-term, affordable and subsidised accommodation
facility at Bendigo Hospital for regional patients,
their carer’s and families who need to be away from home
while being treated at the hospital.
Over $200,000 was been invested in establishing Bendigo
Bank House by the Bank and 13 of its community banks and
regional communities in partnership with Bendigo Health,
Spotless, Exemplar Health and Gouge.
Rushworth & District Community Bank ® invested $30,000 to
provide two accommodation rooms for local residents and in
the last 12 months over 2100 people have accessed this
service. People needing accommodation for cancer treatment
and supporting families whose loved ones are in hospital care
long term have been able to access affordable rooms to
support them during challenging times. The board and branch
staff are so proud to be able to invest in this service for our
community. This investment is only possible due to our
ongoing commitment from our customers and shareholders
and we thank you for your support.
The ability to invest $30,000 into Bendigo Bank House for our
local communities to access accommodation comes from the
banking our customers bring to the branch. As customers, you
can be proud your banking is making such a difference to our
community. If you want to know more about how your banking
can support our community, give the Rushworth & District
Community Bank® a call on 58562122 or call in to the Rushworth
Branch to discuss how we can help you.
Until next time. Christine Borger (Chair)
