Hubs for the Community

Posted 22 April 2025

There are lots of churches in the Epping area, and many of them have halls that are used as community hubs for a range of different activities. They host English Language lessons and playgroups, offer a low-cost venue for groups from garden clubs to dance schools, and they run programs to enhance people’s lives and skills.

New facilities or equipment help make use of community hubs all week, and Community Bank Epping has been pleased to help with grants to three churches in recent months:

–           All Saints North Epping: They applied to buy special new chairs to facilitate mobility classes for local seniors under their Stepping Up program.

–           Epping Baptist Church:  Their halls are used for a myriad of events, and many need to use the catering kitchen. They applied to buy a new heavy-duty dishwasher.

–           St Johns Beecroft: With a 1960’s hall, there are many bits due an upgrade. Over the last year, the bank has helped with two grants. One to provide modern audio-visual equipment and a large screen; the other to polish the original wooden floor. Their weekly playgroup particularly loves this – especially the babies!

These were three of the 58 grants given to local organisations and groups during 2024. You can read more about them at our blog. More than $460k in grant funding was allocated during the year.
