RWCommunity – AMPLIFIED ‘Empowering Change, Amplifying Impact’
For more than six decades, Revesby Workers’ Club have upheld a strong and enduring commitment to community support. During this time, the Club has evolved to meet the shifting needs of our members and the community. This legacy was shaped by visionary founding leaders like Brien Higgs—a foundation member who held various leadership roles, including Secretary Manager and Club President. Higgs was an early advocate for welfare support and wrote ‘In a working -class area there will always be incidences of hardship occurring caused by sickness, death or unemployment …the formation of a club was deemed to be the answer.’
In line with this vision, the Board have reaffirmed their commitment to community support through the introduction of a new initiative: RWCommunity – AMPLIFIED.
AMPLIFIED was developed as part of the Club’s emerging Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework. Recognising the increasing demand for diverse and accessible community services, the Club has committed to allocating an additional 10% of annual profits to this program. This initiative will provide a significant new funding stream with broader flexibility focusing on the following priorities:
- Supporting vulnerable community members—families, children, youth, and the elderly—facing issues like domestic violence, homelessness, and isolation.
- The Improvement of inclusive services for people with disabilities by expanding access, awareness, and support for carers and service providers.
- Ongoing support of First Nations communities through cultural education, visibility, and employment opportunities.
- The development of education initiatives for all ages to foster learning and connection.
- Supporting holistic health and wellbeing through initiatives that support both physical and mental health.
Community organisations and individuals with projects that align with the Clubs Values and priorities are encouraged to apply for support. For more information on eligibility and the application process contact our team at community@rwc.org.au/.
