I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with so many people, including the BDCU The Collective Impact team, at the BDCU Limited Social and Economic Showcase and Annual General Meeting held on the evening of Thursday 28 November 2024 in Burradoo. The evening highlighted financial and social achievements and unveiled two initiatives to shape our community's future. The first is the Essential Workers Initiative, which is a dynamic initiative focused on empowering and assisting the vital workers who form the foundation of our community. The Board announced some outstanding measures focused on addressing and alleviating challenges related to essential workers and affordable housing in Wingecarribee—an incredible step towards meaningful solutions. The second is the 5-Year Scholarship Commitment, which is a significant investment in education and opportunity. This initiative underscores BDCU's dedication to empowering the next generation. The presentations also highlighted exceptional projects made possible through BDCU's Community Bank scholarships and grant programs, which continue to make a positive impact across the Wollondilly Shire.
