There’s a new local in town:
Camberwell Blood Donor Centre

For years, Lifeblood has been visiting Camberwell. They’ve been popping up every few months so we can give blood and save lives.

And we’ve been doing exactly that. In fact, Camberwell locals have been making so many donations that Lifeblood have decided to stick around.

Yep. A permanent Camberwell Donor Centre is coming 19 November. The team will also have a stall at the Sunday Market on 10 November 2024.

Did you know that 1 in 3 people will need blood in their lifetime? That’s 1 in 3 people catching a flick at the Rivoli. 1 in 3 people wandering the Sunday market. 1 in 3 people on the 75 tram.

And you can be the one who makes a difference to them when it matters most.

Lock in your next donation to be one of the first to scope out the best spot in Camberwell Donor Centre (and, more importantly: the best snacks).

Head to lifeblood.com.au, the Donate Blood app, call 13 14 95 to book today by phone or book a donation at https://app.donateblood.com.au/QYD5 online today.

We were excited to host three special guests last weekend to share the unique experience of Camberwell Sunday Market:

♻️ Natalie Suleyman MP, Minister for Veterans, Youth & Small Business
♻️ John Berger MP, our local Member
♻️ Cr Felicity Sinfield, Mayor of Boroondara,

The guests were greeted by the Rotary Club of Balwyn President, Russell Jones; Market Manager, Paul Myers and Market Director, Ken McQualter. A commemorative book ‘Sunday Service’ was presented and the group toured surrounding businesses, met stall holders, visitors and Rotary volunteers.

Did you know the Camberwell Sunday Market is open every weekend (except for the two Sundays before Christmas)?

Enjoy #camberwelljunction shopping all weekend and stop in for the unique experience of Camberwell Market each Sunday from 7:30am to 12:30pm.

Gold coin donations on entry support Rotary projects and initiatives.

The market as whole provides an enormous community forum for recycling, reuse and repurposing secondhand goods.

And let’s not forget the famous hot jam donuts.

• Discover a treasure
• Discover a cause
• Discover Camberwell

As you enter the Rotary Camberwell Sunday Market, you’ll be met by the friendly faces of Rotary volunteers.

The Rotarians not only assist with collecting gold coin donations made by market-goers, but also help with putting those donations to good use – in the local community, and more broadly across Australia and overseas.

They often assist with bringing local causes and projects to life, through targeted activities at their respective Rotary clubs, to ensure that people in need get the help they require.

Some people find the perfect vintage dress for an upcoming occasion; others uncover a slew of vinyl to add to their record collection; parents might find classic wooden toys; some visitors leave with a tear in their eye, having uncovered a vase or clock reminiscent of their beloved grandmother’s house.

Yet, the one thing every visitor to the Rotary’s Camberwell Sunday Market leaves with is the knowledge that they’ve helped make the world a better place.
