While Kiama is one of the smaller branches of the Australian Red Cross, it has a long had a reputation for punching above its weight.

At the recent AGM in Sydney, President Judi O’Brien was presented with the Chairman’s Shield for, once again, being the country branch to raise the most money for Red Cross Calling. This was followed by being awarded the prestigious Margaret Waddell Country Achievement Cup in acknowledgement of outstanding fundraising and community service.

Not ones to rest on their laurels, Kiama Red Cross is taking part in the Centenary Remembrance Day ceremony, holding a Bunnings BBQ on 17 November and organising a Christmas Stall in Terralong St for Saturday 1 December.
