A remarkable love story is continuing to unfold this week in Sydney, following the decision of Julie Lee to give her husband Colin one of her kidneys. Col and Julie are both well known in Ballina for their long history of voluntary community work, particularly with Rotary. Their 51st wedding anniversary is this weekend.

The 350km charity bike ride organised by Lennox Head's Boaty Boys and the Ballina-on-Richmond Rotary Club has raised over $30,000 for DV-related charities.

Registrations are rolling in for the Against the Wind charity bike ride happening later this month, raising funds for frontline domestic violence services. The distance represents the 350 DV calls made in NSW every day.

Ballina is preparing for a high-energy celebration as Ballina Duck Fest returns on Sunday 8 March from 11am to 3pm at Captain Cook Park (next to Ballina RSL), raising funds for local community projects.

The Ballina community will once again stand together to say 'No' to domestic and family violence with this year’s Walk for Respect and Change, a powerful event uniting schools, businesses, service organisations, and residents to create awareness and inspire change.

Cherry Street Sports Group and Ballina RSL Club say they are proud to support Rotary Ballina-on-Richmond in their impactful partnership with DV Safe Phone, an initiative aimed at providing crucial communication tools to victims of domestic violence.

Last Friday saw over 1,000 people converge onto the streets of Ballina to demonstrate, advocate and educate their community about domestic and family violence.

The Ballina region is stepping up against domestic and family violence and saying yes to respectful relationships with its annual Rotary Walk, happening on Friday 29 November.

'Turning The Tide', the extraordinary story of Ballina Rotary's response to the 2022 floods crisis, was launched on Friday evening at Cherry Street Sports Club.

The ducks are returning to Fawcett Park in Ballina this Sunday, 10 November, for Rotary's great Community Duck Race.
