We are proud to sponsor the Bathurst Surf Life Saving Club team at their charity golf day this weekend, raising funds for the Kidney Kids Youth and Kids program.

For 22 years, the team has been raising money for Kidney Health Australia and have raised just shy of $1 million over that time. An incredible effort supporting an important cause.

Well done to Richie Farrar, Peter Ward and Graham Ward.

THE BIG LUNCH is a free community meal that operates from Cafe VIVA every Thursday, employing people living with disabilities at full award rates of pay. We have served almost 15000 free meals since October 2023. It's just one of the ways we support our community, while creating opportunity for real employment and social inclusion. Today THE BIG LUNCH was named Bathurst's Community Event of The Year.

Vivability Limited is a not-for-profit, registered charity and disability service provider, committed to creating real opportunities for people with disabilities to take part in community life.
The Ambulance Station Redevelopment will include a social enterprise coffee lounge and cocktail bar. It will create supported employment where people with disabilities are paid award wages or higher and can gain skills, confidence and connection.
Did you know more than 20,000 people with disability in Australia are paid below award wage? We believe Bathurst can lead by doing things differently.
Vivability currently runs three social enterprises, with St Johns becoming our fourth. Each one creates local jobs and supports economic participation in our region.
We are proud to invest in people and place, and to keep creating opportunity in Bathurst.

Locals are set to be sipping on cocktails in the former Bathurst Ambulance Station building before the end of 2026. https://bit.ly/4jGhLlA

We’re so proud of all our social enterprises, and our newest, Viva’s 3 Veg Farm, is no different 🌱 Already creating meaningful employment opportunities, the farm is preparing to bring you a fresh veggie subscription service very soon.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the harvest at Café VIVA, available now in new menu items and direct from the produce fridge.

If you aren’t already following Viva’s 3 Veg Farm or Café VIVA, give them a follow today and come along for the journey.

A new subscription service is just one way to try the produce.
