COMMUNITY GIVING

Proudly supporting the people, clubs, and causes that make Central Victoria stronger.

At Epsom Sand & Soil, we believe in giving back to the community that’s supported us for nearly 50 years.

We wouldn’t be where we are today without the loyalty of our local customers — and our Community Giving Program is our way of saying thank you.

Every month, we provide financial support, product donations, and hands-on help to local groups, schools, charities, and individuals doing great things across Bendigo and Central Victoria. From sporting clubs and community gardens to playgrounds and local fundraising events, we’re proud to help our region grow — one project at a time.

We receive many requests and, while we can’t support every initiative, we review each application carefully and respond within two weeks.

All requests must be submitted through our Community Giving application form below.

SUPPORT RECIPIENTS

Partner of the Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise (BNDCE)

Epsom Sand & Soil is proud to partner with the Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise (BNDCE) — a collaboration that extends our commitment to community giving.

As a partner, we’re excited to offer financial support and landscaping products for the 2024–25 BNDCE Community Grants. These grants provide much-needed funding to local community groups, sporting clubs, and schools across Bendigo’s northern corridor, helping them access essential resources for their projects.

The BNDCE has a long history of supporting initiatives that enrich the community, and we’re proud to play our part in their mission to make a meaningful impact across our region.

Kruzer Earthmoving P/L Helps a Family in Need

When we heard that Kruzer Earthmoving was helping a local family in need, we knew we wanted to be involved.

We donated sand, soil, and other materials to support the crew as they worked hard to transform the site. It’s all about community spirit — and we’re grateful to be part of such a generous effort.

A big thank you to the volunteers and the Kruzer team for their incredible work helping a family rebuild and move forward.

Supporting White Hills FNC Fundraising

Community sport brings people together — and Epsom Sand & Soil is proud to support the White Hills Football & Netball Club in their fundraising efforts.

This year, we contributed to the 2024 Goods & Services Auction, helping the club raise much-needed funds to support players and keep the club thriving.

We’re always proud to play our part in local sport — and we thank the White Hills FNC for their dedication, hard work, and community spirit.

Snap Fitness Epsom – Gift Voucher for RCH Fundraising

We were thrilled to support Snap Fitness Epsom by donating a Gift Voucher for their Silent Auction Fundraiser in support of the Royal Children’s Hospital.

This event raised vital funds for a cause close to many hearts, and we’re proud to contribute to such meaningful community initiatives that make a real difference.

Huntly Community Playground Restoration

After a flash flood closed the local Huntly Community Playground, volunteers from the Huntly Community Church banded together to restore it.

We were happy to help by donating road base, sand, and soft-fall material — bringing the playground back to life for local families.

We’re proud to support the volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to keeping our communities safe, fun, and connected.
