A local charity event, raising funds for our community.
For half a century, Community Gateway has stood as Northern Rivers' lifeline. A sanctuary of hope, unity and meaningful impact.
What began in 1976 as a local hole-in-the-wall in Lismore has grown into a professional, multi-disciplinary wraparound service, uplifting vulnerable people and communities across the region. In the past year alone, we delivered 13,491 instances of clinical, financial and community support to the people who needed it most.
This year, we celebrate 50 years of turning collective compassion into life-changing support.
Our first Giving Gala will be a spectacular evening, bringing together our region's most dedicated changemakers, business champions and supporters for one unforgettable night. More than just a celebration, it serves as a critical catalyst for hope and unity across our community.
All funds raised will ensure that vital programs continue to reach the most vulnerable people in our community.
An unforgettable lineup of world-class artists and culinary experiences curated for an extraordinary celebration.
We are thrilled to announce that our evening will be officially hosted by renowned comedian Mel Buttle! Expect an incredible night of sharp wit and laughs, as she guides us through our milestone celebration.
