Behind every safe community are extraordinary people ❤️🚒

While many of us are gathered around the Christmas table, enjoying time with family or settling in to watch the Boxing Day cricket, there are people in our community who are ready to leave it all behind at a moment’s notice.

Christmas lunches interrupted. Family celebrations missed. Weekends, evenings and precious moments with loved ones put on hold.

All to answer a call from someone who needs help.

On Saturday evening, representatives from Community Bank Mt Martha had the privilege of attending the Moorooduc CFA Annual Dinner, an evening dedicated to recognizing the remarkable people who give so much of themselves to keep our community safe.

It was particularly special to witness members being recognized for their incredible years of service, including volunteers who have dedicated 40 years to protecting others.

Forty years of showing up. Forty years of putting others first. Forty years of answering the call.

It’s difficult to put into words the gratitude we feel for that level of commitment, not just from the volunteers themselves, but from the families who support them and make sacrifices of their own.

As we head towards another Australian summer, we’re reminded just how fortunate we are to have people like this in our community. People who willingly step forward when others need them most, often without recognition or expectation of anything in return.

At Community Bank Mt Martha, we consider it an absolute honor to be in a position to give back to those who give so much. We’re incredibly proud of our ongoing relationship with Moorooduc CFA and are pleased to have recently awarded the brigade an additional $5,000 community grant towards vital equipment as they prepare for the coming summer.

To every member of Moorooduc CFA, and to the families standing behind them, thank you. Thank you for the celebrations you miss, the time you give and the commitment you show, year after year, so that the rest of us can feel safe in the place we call home.

Our community is stronger, safer and better because of you. ❤️🚒

Big laughs, brilliant company and $16,600 for The Bays! 🎉
What a night!

The Community Bank Mt Martha team recently joined a packed room of trivia lovers for The Bays Big Trivia Night — and it’s safe to say there were plenty of laughs, a little friendly competition and possibly a few questionable answers from our table! 😄

But behind all the fun was a very important reason for coming together.

An incredible $16,600 was raised on the night, with funds going towards the purchase of a new Stryker surgical drill and saw system — vital equipment used every day by orthopaedic surgeons at The Bays.

We had such a fantastic time and loved being part of a night that brought so many people from our community together in support of our local hospital.

There’s something pretty special about looking around a room filled with people laughing, competing and enjoying themselves, knowing that at the same time, together we’re helping fund equipment that will make a real difference to healthcare right here in our community.

A huge congratulations to everyone at The Bays who worked so hard to put together such a brilliant evening, and to everyone who attended, donated and got involved.

We came for the trivia, stayed for the laughs, and went home feeling incredibly proud to have played a small part in such a wonderful result. ❤️

$16,600 raised. One very memorable night. And one community coming together for a cause that matters.

❤️ Farewell Stacey — after 11 wonderful years

After more than a decade as part of Community Bank Mt Martha, it’s time for us to say a very fond farewell to our Branch Manager, Stacey Wakeman.

Stacey first walked through our doors in October 2015 as a Customer Relationship Officer on what was originally a nine-month contract. Thankfully for us, those nine months turned into 11 years!

Over that time, Stacey has grown alongside our branch, progressing from Customer Relationship Officer to Customer Relations Manager, then Assistant Branch Manager, before becoming Branch Manager in 2023.

But Stacey’s contribution to Community Bank Mt Martha has always been about much more than the positions she has held.

Over the years, she has built lasting relationships with customers, supported and mentored her team, shared an incredible depth of local knowledge and helped foster the genuine culture of service and community connection that sits at the heart of our branch.

As Branch Manager, Stacey has led with professionalism, integrity and, most importantly, care — for her staff, for our customers and for the community we are here to serve.

And in a Community Bank, that community connection means a great deal.

Stacey has been part of countless conversations, relationships and moments that have helped our branch grow and, in turn, allowed us to continue giving back to the Mt Martha community. She has championed local organizations, represented our bank throughout the community and understood that what we do has always been about much more than banking.

From that first nine-month contract to leading the branch she had already given so much to, Stacey leaves behind a legacy we are incredibly grateful for.

Stacey, thank you for 11 years of dedication, leadership, friendship and heart. ❤️

You have been such an important part of the Community Bank Mt Martha story, and while we are very sad to see you go, we are so excited for you as you begin your next chapter.

From your team, our Board, our customers and the wider Community Bank Mt Martha family — thank you, Stacey.

You will always be part of our story. ❤️
