The Juniors Maroubra Fun Run & Spring Festival is returning after a 3 year break due to Covid. This will be the 25th year and will be held on Sunday 22 October 2023.
The Fun Run & Spring Festival is always one of Maroubra’s biggest and best annual family and community days. People come from near and far. Some run, some walk and some wheel around the course. Some will be super-fit, some will still be working on their fitness, and some will prefer to skip the Fun Run opportunity and just enjoy the Spring Festival. But EVERYONE will have a good time.

General Manager of Bayside Women’s Shelter as guest speaker, 18th September 2023.
Bayside Women’s Shelter opened its doors 5 years ago and has provided crisis accommodation for over 200 women (and their families) impacted
by domestic violence.
When setting up the facility the Bayside Women's Shelter team worked in partnership with Women’s Community Shelter (WCS) who are an organisation
dedicated to sheltering homeless women through local community fundraising and philanthropy.
With the support of WCS, Bayside council and Local businesses funding was provided to secure and convert a six bedroom residential house in the Bayside
Community. Each of the women housed there today, is given their own room, and they share a communal living area, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry.
The Shelter not only provides short-term accommodation, food and a safe refuge, it also provides additional support to help women rebuild their lives by helping with funding for further education in TAFE and other courses facilitating a woman’s economic independence. They also provide access to communication essentials – phone, tablet, and internet access to help these women find jobs and permanent housing opportunities.
This model of support has meant that the women who have stayed at Bayside Women’s Shelter have successfully managed to restart a new life vs returning back to their abusive relationship something that this organisation is very proud to say is their number one achievement to date.
