On 11 December 2024, both the Sydney and Melbourne teams of LSH Credit Australia visited “Our Big Kitchen” in Bondi, Sydney, a community kitchen that inspires individuals to come together to help people who experience food insecurity.

LSHC AU shares Our Big Kitchen’s belief in the power of giving back to the community. With the small team, it is proud to have prepared over 120 packaged meals in 2 hours. Whilst the task was to prepare and distribute meals to those in need of food, the spirit and journey of how the meal was made was equally important. From preparing the ingredients, to cooking and packing the food together, the team enjoyed the opportunity to bond and to serve.

The qualifying round of the LSH Auto Australia Golf Cup for those in Melbourne took place at the Victoria Golf Club, one of Melbourne’s famous sand-belt courses.

A total of 55 LSH Auto Melbourne’s guests participated and it included some very special guests:

Radio personality Jason Richardson, Paris Olympics hurdler Tayleb Willis, broadcaster and columnist Steve Price, comedian Sam Taunton, Chief Mercedes-Benz Driver Trainer Peter Hackett, jockey Damien Oliver and the founder of the Chain Reaction Foundation Berrick Wilson.

The competition, supported by excellent hospitality, resulted in six category winners who now have the opportunity to compete in the LSH Auto Australia Golf Cup Final which will be held early next year at Tasmania’s stunning Barnbougle course on the Apple Ilse’s North-East coast.

Participants, once again, helped to contribute funds towards a worthy cause - on this occasion, the Chain Reaction Challenge Foundation, which has enjoyed long support from LSH Auto Australia, and which, through its annual corporate week-long cycle rides, raises funds in support of children’s charities.

Congratulations to the winners and best of luck at the annual LSH Auto Australia Golf Cup Final.

A great day of golf and all for a good cause.

As part of its “Spreading Love” initiative, Vietnam Star Automobile stepped up to help those impacted by the recent floods.

Through Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation, a registered non-profit organisation and grassroots charity, Vietnam Star Automobile contributed material support as well as words of encouragement.

Kudos and gratitude to Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation and those who quietly supported the cause.

As expressed by Vietnam Star Automobile, even a small contribution will help the community overcome these challenges.

The LSH Credit UK team were delighted to spend the day working at the Mersey Vale Nature Park in Stockport, near Manchester, and supporting the local community.

Mersey Vale Nature Park is a local nature reserve operated by Stockport Council. It provides a habitat for a range of local wildlife and green spaces for the local community. It also houses a large orchard, which provides liveable space for wildlife, cools the urban environment and helps prevent flooding during periods of significant rainfall (not uncommon around Manchester).

This is the second time we have worked at the nature park. Last year, we worked to fertilise and prune the orchard trees. This year, we tackled a large overgrown area, cutting back brambles and dead trees to provide more clear space. After a fruitful day, the team cleared a large space which can now be used for other nature park initiatives.

The full LSH Credit Australia team joined forces and participated in a telethon-style fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House (“RMH”). RMH is a charity that supports sick kids and their families whilst they are receiving treatment at the nearby hospitals. When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, it impacts the whole family and lives can be turned upside down. RMH provides a range of programmes to help families stay together and be close to the care they need. Families of such disadvantaged children are grappling with more than any of us can imagine. Keeping them close is the most important step in helping families cope through the stress, trauma and financial strain of caring for their child.

The day started with some impactful stories told from the families who have been with the programme, which provided the team motivation to work as hard as possible for their cause. For the event itself the LSH Credit teams reached out to our extensive networks with the aim of raising as much money as possible. We took to the challenge with a great buzz in the House. We are pleased to report that the team was involved in raising over A$50,000 for the children and their families.
