Revesby Workers’ Club Wins “Heart of the Community” at 2025 ClubsNSW Clubs & Community Awards

Clubs across New South Wales were honoured at the 2025 ClubsNSW Clubs & Community Awards, recognising the vital role they play in improving lives across the state.

Held at the ICC Sydney on Thursday, 19 June, the event welcomed over 900 guests — including government ministers, community leaders and clubs— to celebrate the outstanding contributions of clubs across nine award categories, from health care and education to grassroots sport and environmental sustainability.

Revesby Workers’ Club was named a 2025 Heart of the Community Award winner for our partnership with Biyani House – Revesby Women’s Shelter. Since 2021, the Club has provided more than $370,000 in financial and in-kind support, helping to establish and sustain the only women’s shelter in the area for women and children escaping domestic violence.

Through annual fundraising events such as International Women’s Day, and in collaboration with local clubs — including Bankstown Sports, Canterbury Leagues Club, Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL, and Campsie RSL Group — along with community groups and dedicated volunteers, Revesby Workers’ Club has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social impact and community care.

ClubsNSW CEO Rebecca Riant praised the winners, stating:
“Clubs exist to make their communities better places to live, and that was certainly on show last night. The causes they’ve championed are truly inspirational.”

With a record 142 finalists in 2025, the awards highlight just how deeply embedded clubs are in the fabric of local life. Revesby Workers’ Club’s recognition stands as a proud reflection of what can be achieved when communities come together with purpose and heart.

The Club extends its congratulations to all finalists, with special recognition to those who were highly commended and awarded on the night.
