To contribute positive change and serve Lawrence community needs by bringing people together in Lawrence, through:

What we do

Here at Lawrence Community Fundraising Inc. we’re committed to gathering resources, people and ideas together to achieve positive outcomes for our community.

Since 2012, we’ve raised over $26,000 through raffles and fundraising activities.

We redistribute funds to support our local community halls, school, preschool, museum, parks and gardens, SES and more.

Thanks to our community generosity, we have secured two defibrillators, and are proud regular supporters of the Westpac Helicopter service. 

​We also work in partnership with our local businesses and we thank them for their generous donations and sponsorships.

Meet the team

Our Executive Committee is where the passion begins…

Jenna Thompson

President

Jenna loves everything about Lawrence! The pace, the strong country values and our community's resilience when a challenge is thrown at them.

Jenna aspires for Lawrence to maintain its identity and country values as it continues to grow. That's what makes the difference between just 'living' in a growing town and thriving, both collectively and individually.

Jenna's vision for the group is to empower our community by providing more opportunities to improve and grow this beautiful township.

NEIL RADFORD (JP)

Treasurer

Neil enjoys Lawrence for the peace and quiet and making great friendships.

His aspirations are for the community to be totally inclusive of one another without any animosity towards others. That is how a great community will grow and achieve greatness.

Neil would love the group to be able to achieve great progress for our little village, but not to make it bigger just better for all of the residents both young and old.

KAREN MARSDEN
