Beneficiaries


The Bayside Art Show is one of a number of major fund raising projects undertaken by the Rotary Club of Brighton.

In giving Amateur and Professional Artists the opportunity to present their work in this important event, funds generated are utilised for the benefit of the community.

The principal beneficiary is the Brighton Recreational Centre, a non-profit community based organisation. They provide recreational, educational, cultural and sporting activities for all age groups in the community. Over 2000 men, women and children participate in active roles in the Centre each week.

The Rotary Club of Brighton distributes funds in assisting many other noteworthy causes in the Bayside area. We are actively engaged in providing safe long term accommodation for abused youth in Bayside, assisting in rehabilitation programs such as Sail for Life to name some of our projects.

The Rotary Club of Brighton is committed to helping our community.
