There’ s something truly special about the Hawkesbury region – a place where community spirit runs deep, where neighbours support each other, and where local heroes work quietly behind the scenes to create real change.

Windsor RSL is proud to announce the launch of the Windsor RSL Community Raffle – a heartfelt initiative designed to give back and uplift the incredible non-profit groups, charities, schools, and sports clubs that make our community shine.

This exciting new raffle will be open to all not-for-profit organisations, registered charities, local schools, and community sports groups in the Hawkesbury who could use a little extra support to continue the valuable work they do.

Whether you’ re a school in need of funding for essential technology, a local footy club needing uniforms or training gear, or a charity stretched thin trying to cover rising costs – This is your opportunity to be part of something bigger.

All funds raised through the raffle go directly back to the groups involved – helping to ensure they have the tools and resources to thrive.

At Windsor RSL, we’ re always conscious of the current economic environment, and we know every dollar counts. That’ s why we’ re offering more opportunities to be part of our raffles, while keeping raffles affordable and accessible.

“ I remember growing up in a community where school fetes, weekend sport, and charity bake sales brought everyone together. That’ s the spirit we want to recapture – by shining a light on the amazing groups doing real work every day in the Hawkesbury.

The Windsor RSL Community Raffle isn’ t just about raising funds – it’ s about creating visibility, fostering support, and celebrating the people who give our community heart.” Yasmine Chalmers, Community Engagement Manager

Hope Has a New Home: The Jeremiah Project Bunker Opens in Windsor

In the heart of Windsor, a powerful new beacon of hope is about to open its doors. On Saturday, 10th May 2025, the community will gather to celebrate the official opening of The Jeremiah Project Bunker— a transformative space dedicated to feeding, rehabilitating, and supporting those who need it most.

At the helm of this vital grassroots initiative is Jacky Turano, a passionate advocate for the homeless and vulnerable. With unwavering

commitment, Jacky founded The Jeremiah Project to create real change at the ground level— offering not just a hot meal, but a path to healing, dignity, and reintegration into the community.

The Bunker will provide nutritious, frequent meals to those facing hunger, counselling and mental health support services, rehabilitation, and reintegration programs to empower long-term change.

This is more than a shelter. It’ s a haven. A fresh start. A future reclaimed. At Windsor RSL, we’ re incredibly proud
