Santa came early! Really, really early! The fabulous Colin from McCrae Lions Club dropped in this week with a huge donation of Lions Christmas cakes 🎄🥰. These ones are a little undersize and didn't quite make the grade - but we don't mind that!! This will be a little bit of Christmas in July for lots of people in need in our community - we're very grateful to Colin and the McCrae Lions team 💖

For many of us, there will be plenty of safe nights in our own bed.⁠ For others in our community, it's more nights wondering where they'll sleep.⁠
⁠
That's why we're coming together for one night on 31st July for the Southern Peninsula Sleepout, to raise awareness, funds and support for those sleeping rough.⁠
⁠
Day in, day out, Southern Peninsula Community Support is on the ground across the southern Mornington Peninsula with emergency relief, essential items and support to find a more stable path forward.⁠
⁠
Without government funding for its outreach services, this vital work is only possible thanks to the generosity of the community. That's why, alongside our incredible sponsors 🤝 RACV Cape Schanck Resort , we're raising funds to help make sure this support can continue.⁠

We posted about this recently but it was a little misunderstood! High petrol prices on the Southern Peninsula are nothing new but this is odd - Rye EG petrol station is currently almost 30c a litre higher than Rosebud EG petrol station, and it's been like that for a while. There are cheaper options still (couldn't fit them all in the image) - it really pays to shop around at the moment! Try using the Servo Saver function on the Service Victoria app, it will show you today's prices, and after 4pm it will also show you tomorrow's.

THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING FIREFIGHTERS! 🚒❤️

A huge thank you to our incredible local Rosebud Fire Brigade for their generous donation to Southern Peninsula Community Support.

You already do so much to keep our community safe, responding when people need you most. Yet, despite all that you do, you continue to think of others and support those doing it tough in our community.

Your kindness, generosity and community spirit truly make a difference.

You are absolute legends, and we are so grateful for your support!

❤️🚒 Thank you for helping us support local people in need.
