As the proud organisers of this event the Rotary Clubs of Kew and Brighton North aim to firstly, raise much needed funds for selected Charities; and secondly, to encourage creative, bold, innovative, versatile, practical and responsible gardening in our Australian gardens.
So far, Rotary, through Garden DesignFest, raised more than $700,000 for Charity. Thank you for your support

Since 2006 Impact has been making a difference to Victorian women and children fleeing extreme violence at home. Through our activities, we provide badly needed essentials together with the knowledge that someone cares. Impact was established in response to the ongoing issue of domestic violence, which affects a significant number of women and children in Australia. We believe that no woman or child should feel isolated or unsupported when escaping abusive environments. Through our programs, we aim to restore dignity, safety, and a sense of hope for those affected. Through the assistance of our volunteers and donations from the public Impact provides “Bags of Love,” which are emergency relief packs filled with essential items such as toiletries, clothing, and personal care products. These packs are distributed through shelters and other crisis accommodation services directly to women and children in need. Our Bags of Love are packed each weekend in a warehouse in Sandringham and then distributed twice a year, at Mother’s Day and Christmas. Each year we deliver more than 5,000 Bags of Love to those who need them most. Beyond direct support, Impact for Women raises awareness about the prevalence of domestic violence and advocates for policies that improve protection and services for survivors. We do this by engaging the community through fundraising events, education, and partnerships to increase understanding and mobilise support. |
