Wyndham City’s Mayor was teeing off for a good cause last week.
Mayor Cr Henry Barlow welcomed local businesses and community groups to Werribee Park Golf Club for the Mayoral Charity Golf Day.
Cr Barlow said the day was a great event, as about 40 players got together to raise funds for Uniting Wyndham—formerly Uniting Care Werribee Support and Housing.
“The sun was shining as we spent the day on the golf course, and the best part is we managed to raise more than $4,000 for Uniting Wyndham,” Cr Barlow said.
“Uniting Wyndham has been an important part of our community since the 1980s. The dedicated team of staff and volunteers spend their time supporting vulnerable members of the community in housing and other support services,” he said. “They also coordinate a foster care service, youth services and more.”
Cr Barlow said Wyndham City recognised the invaluable contributions Uniting Wyndham makes to the community and was proud to be supporting it. “There are so many people living in Wyndham, and the western suburbs more broadly, who have benefited from the work Uniting Wyndham does,” Cr Barlow said. “We have no doubt they will put this money to good use.”

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.
