The annual Kingston Woman of the Year Awards are coming up on March 8, and Bayside Community Care is thrilled to hear Matt’s Place Cheltenham Team Leader Janet Arnfield is a nominee for this year’s Award.
Jan works tirelessly across several charities as a volunteer. Her contribution is invaluable as she makes our community an inclusive, safe, thriving place. We congratulate Jan on this nomination.

Bayside Community Care is delighted to welcome the sixth baby girl to the Bayside Forever Home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mbali joined the Bayside family, including the other baby girls – Bohlale, Tlhokomelo, Lakeesa, Lily and Amahle. The home is now a girls’ home, with a wonderful mum-to-baby ratio giving each child the necessary personal attention they need to develop.
For as little as $50 a month ensures one baby receives the start in life she deserves. Consider sponsoring today!
Just over a week ago, an army of volunteers packed over 200 Christmas hampers to give out to people doing it tough this Christmas.
Volunteers also wrapped, packed and posted 95 Angel Tree gifts for children with a parent in prison, helping to bring restoration to families. Bayside Community Care was able to donate the value of another 24 gifts to Prison Fellowship Australia for their Angel Tree program.
Thank you to Beaumaris Rotary for their invaluable support!
