G&C Mutual Bank has long been a supporter of Barnardos Australia and has once again partnered with the Australian Mutuals Foundation to support the Barnardos Gifts for Kids - Christmas Gift Appeal 2019.
This Christmas gift appeal highlights the heartbreaking fact that thousands of Australian children do not get to experience the thrill of opening a present on Christmas Day.
Staff members at our Sydney Service Centre were keen to support the appeal by generously donating brand new toys to help make Christmas special for children in Barnardos’ specialised programs. Barnardos Australia aims to provide 10,000 Christmas presents for disadvantaged children this year, brightening Christmas for some children who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness.
