At Community Bank Upwey & District and Emerald & District, we’re excited to share something special… our 2026 Staff Grant Program!

Each of our staff members was given the opportunity to choose and surprise a local community group they’re passionate about supporting. Because our team works with the community every day, they see firsthand the incredible work being done and were absolutely thrilled to support a local group with a surprise $1,500 donation. 💛

We’re excited to share these moments with you over the coming weeks.

8️⃣ Our eighth presentation was made by Jenni, our Customer Service Officer based in Emerald. Jenni chose to support the 1st Cockatoo Scout Group.

As a strong supporter of the Scout movement, she believes the funds will make a big difference to the kids in the group.

Stay tuned as we continue to celebrate the groups our team has selected to support!

❤️ Defibrillators save lives and contribute to the safety of everyone in our community. The Community Bank Emerald & District is proud to support the Cockatoo Kindergarten with a new unit.

We hope the unit never have to use it, but it will soon be on hand in case of an emergency. 🩺🫀
