Take a Swing for Charity is an annual afternoon of golf held each February to raise funds for local charities. The Golf Day is supported by corporate sponsors, many of whom have provided continuous sponsorship since its inception in 2009.
From 2009 to 2024 Take a Swing for Charity has raised almost $668,000 providing much-needed financial support to 18 charitable organisations over the period.
This has directly helped thousands of community members, ranging from individuals and families, young and old experiencing disadvantage, homelessness, food insecurity, domestic violence, disability, insufficient health care, educational challenges or barriers to employment.

Supporting 18 local charities since its inception in 2009, Take a Swing has helped thousands in our community. Funds raised have been used to support individuals and families young and old, experiencing food insecurity, poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, and health care concerns. We’ve also supported programs that address the challenges of disability and removed barriers to employment.
The 16th Charity Golf Day took place on Monday 17 February 2025, at the Commonwealth Golf Club, a renowned sandbelt course. This year's beneficiary was the Noble Park Community Centre, which has been serving the local community for over 68 years, supporting more than 1,100 families and individuals. The funds raised are earmarked for upgrading the centre's kitchenette to ensure accessibility for people of all abilities and for expanding its food relief program by an additional 200 meals per week.
Take a Swing for Charity was only possible through the support of a small, dedicated group of sponsors and the broader business community, who came together to enjoy golf, camaraderie, and competition. The day concluded with a post-golf dinner and auction, all in the spirit of giving back to the most vulnerable members of the community.
