Charity Association of St. George Bann is the representative body of the majority of the Bann community in Australia. Since our inception in 1960, we’ve been committed to serve and support the Bann community through charity work.
We’re a community of over 500 members, driven by a shared passion for serving our community, particularly those in need. Our funding primarily relies on our member’s generous contributions and support.
The principal activities of the Association have always been and will continue to be charity. The Association continues its operations as a charity with donations and fund raising activities continuing to be a major contributor to income. The funding is therefore dependent upon the Association’s member’s contributions and support.
