We’re partnering with Bathurst Early Childhood Intervention Service to make sure young children with developmental delays or disabilities don’t fall through the cracks while waiting for NDIS supports.

Our sponsorship will fund two school terms of the Early Supports Program, helping Bathurst families access early intervention when it matters most.

While the Federal Government’s new Thriving Kids Initiative is being developed, we’re proud to act now alongside BECIS to support local children and families.

Vivability was proud to be represented at Parliament House today by CEO Nick Packham, joining Federal MPs, advisors and leaders in social enterprise and philanthropy to discuss how social enterprise drives productivity and delivers public value.

Social enterprises like Café Viva and The Bathurst Cleaning Company show how community-led businesses can deliver real impact, creating jobs, supporting inclusion and building stronger local economies.

The discussion highlighted the need to embed social enterprise in procurement policy, recognise social enterprise as a distinct productivity driver and integrate social enterprise into the employment system. With the aim to create a fairer, more sustainable Australia.

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Big Lunch Charity Golf Day! 🏌️‍♂️💚

A huge thank you to all our incredible sponsors, those who donated raffle and auction prizes, and every player who joined us on the course. Your generosity helps us continue to build connection and feed our community every Thursday at The Big Lunch.

A special shout-out to Jane and Emma and the team at ThomasMcwilliam for taking on the organisation of this year’s event. Early calculations show it’s our best one yet, and your hard work and professionalism shone through from start to finish.

Thank you also to the Bathurst Golf Club for hosting another fantastic day. We couldn’t do it without your support and hospitality.

We hope to see you all at The Big Lunch soon and again in 2026 for the next Golf Day.
