BCU - Community groups we’ve helped

Community groups we’ve helped

Our community giving platform, the Neville Spear Community Grants program, makes a real difference to people’s lives in from Port Macquarie to the Sunshine Coast.

We’ve been truly humbled by the caring and compassionate nature of our members and the number of people in our community who need help.

Thank you to all our members who have nominated and voted for these local not-for-profit groups who work tirelessly within our local community.
