Vets Beyond Borders hosts fund-raiser night in celebration of India, complete with a street market
Vets Beyond Borders (VBB), the not-for-profit organisation that operates vital veterinary programs in India and the South Pacific, has announced its first annual fundraising event in Melbourne, Victoria on Thursday, 8 May.
VBB implemented its first volunteer program in 2003, and is celebrating 10 years of life saving work with a night where Bollywood meets Collingwood.
All funds raised on the night will go directly towards VBB’s important work where volunteers are improving the lives and health of the people and animals of India and the South Pacific. Melburnians and animal lovers will get to enjoy a night out with colleagues and friends, meet and network with like-minded supporters, and raise much-needed funds for VBB.
The main feature of the night, which is set in a converted warehouse in Collingwood, Melbourne, is a brilliant and colourful Indian street market, including all the food, smells, colours and sounds of India, live music, and inspirational guest speakers, including VBB volunteers. The food items on the menu will be served at individual street stalls in the Indian ‘marketplace’, where each stall will serve its own delicious specialty for dinner.
A night in celebration of India is on from 6pm – 10pm at ‘Our Indian Street Market’ Second Storey Studios
159 Sackville Street, Collingwood, Victoria
Tickets: $120 per person or $110 per person for VBB members, students, early bird and bookings of 10 or more; Price includes Indian street food, drinks and entertainment

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
