“It’s GO GO BENDIGO,” a Noosa community member rejoiced in a letter to Noosa Today, thanking the bank for keeping their helpful staff in the Tewantin branch.
Not only do they employ and service locals, but they continue to reinvest in the community.
The Board of the Sunshine Coast Community Financial Services Ltd (SCCFSL), which is the franchise holder that oversees Bendigo Bank’s Tewantin-Noosa, Marcoola and Cooroy Branches, is ready for another year of giving back in extraordinary ways.
Chair of SCCFSL Trish Radge said, “The Community Banks are about providing outstanding personable banking that supports our community combined with working with the community to make it a better place for all.”
When you bank with your local Community Bank, up to 80 per cent of profits go back into your community.
The Community Banks have recently become a major sponsor for Noosa Volunteer Coast Guard, Noosa Permaculture and the Women’s Noosa Pirates Rugby League Club.
They also provide funding for small projects, activities or items for your organisation, so please get in contact via the Sunny Coast Community Connection website.
Vice Chair Elizabeth Reynolds said, “The more people bank with us, the more we can reinvest back into the community.”
“Giving back to the community is truly meaningful, the Board are deeply committed to making this year hugely advantageous for our community.
“The Board of the SCCFSL have proudly invested $2,316,248 back into community projects to date, and we look forward to continuing this in 2023.”
