Here we have another wonderful example of how the Rotary Club of Manly is “making a difference” in our community.
2021 | BROOKVALE, NSW
As with many projects that the club has undertaken, this was the result of a moving presentation by the Principal, Josie, of the “Lighthouse”, a facility for those disadvantaged, experiencing domestic violence/abuse, homelessness, addiction etc.
Josie’s facility is a registered charity and functions solely on donations and philanthropy.
They operate from cramped space under the Salvation Army complex in Dee Why, exposed to the street and without the appropriate security.
The request was for assistance in securing the property so that the clients could feel safe and protected during their time at the facility.
The Rotary Club of Manly, upon inspection, determined that firstly the whole area surrounding needed a massive clean-up, complete new fencing and security entrance and landscaping.
A veteran member in the club, highly skilled in securing goods and services for zero cost to the club, secured the services of URM for removal of debris/rubbish from the site and all paints, brushes and rollers from Bunnings.
Quotes were then called for and a fencing company provided a generous quotation.
The club volunteers then stepped up and a team finished the painting over a period of two days.
The project has transformed the space, provided Lighthouse with a safe and secure environment where those most vulnerable and in need can come and the principals can provide the amazing service they are renowned for.
The project has even allowed the Lighthouse for the Community centre to be used for parent-child visitations, which was an excellent by product on the installation of a secure space.
The Rotary club of Manly has a long history of “Making a Difference” in the community and this is just another great example of this.

"Finding local young people for Rotary sponsored scholarships is both fun and rewarding. It is an investment in the future of Manly. And doing it as a team makes it even better."

"The Rotary Manly Fun Run & Walk is a community event that I have enjoyed as a participant for a number of years. I wanted to give back and so I joined the Rotary Club to be part of the team making this great community event happen. (We have a fabulous vision for the future of this run!) I enjoy that as a Club we focus on raising funds for our local community but we also support excellent international projects as well.
Get involved - You’ll be glad you did!"

"Although I have been a Rotarian for over 30 years I am still amazed by the commitment of my fellow Manly Rotarians to helping those in our community in need"

"I originally joined Rotary out of a sense of giving back to the community after volunteering for many years in my kids activities. Now I appreciate a degree of community and friendship with the friends I have made through an active involvement with Rotary."
Ken
"Four years ago I felt the need to offer something to the community and people who needed support. I was so warmly welcomed by Manly Rotary Club members that I decided to join immediately. Since that time I have have been involved in numerous projects to help our community and travelled to Kenya as a volunteer at an Orphanage that had been founded by a lady school teacher Rotarian in Queensland. What a great experience it has been over the last four years! "
