We are edging closer to our target of 50 pairs for the shoe drive… if you missed the drop off times, we will be at the stadium today for Waratah League and NBL1 games and can take late donations. Catherine Turner Cindy MascordKristy Crooks Agnes Dorricott Helen Ann Crooks Rachel Wherrett
Thanks to the generous donors so far. Details about how to get access to the shoes coming soon

Don’t forget to bring in those shoes that you don’t need!
We will be offering these to new feet in coming weeks, but we still need more.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION VOLUNTEER NETWORK ||
(Non-governance opportunity)
The Newcastle Basketball Community Foundation is building a volunteer network to support fundraising, events and community initiatives across our sport.
The Foundation exists to reduce barriers so more young people in our region can play, coach and referee basketball. From time to time, we need extra hands to help bring these opportunities to life.
We’re inviting expressions of interest from people who may be keen to:
- Assist at fundraising events or activities at the stadium
- Help with raffles, promotions or behind-the-scenes support
- Support specific community projects as opportunities arise
Joining the volunteer network does not mean committing to every activity. It simply means you’re happy to be contacted when opportunities become available.
You can view the Community Foundation Charter and register your interest via the link below.

We will be here Wednesdays and Fridays for the next couple of weeks and happy to take donations of basketball shoes in good wearable condition.
Come and say hi!
