Boyup Brook Co-op Proudly Supporting Our Local Community

Boyup Brook Co-operative Donates over $36,000 to Support Local Community Projects

The Boyup Brook Co-operative is proud to announce a donation of just over $35,000 from its Community Fund benefitting both the Boyup Brook Hospital and the Senior Citizens Lodge. 

The Community fund was established by the board in 2020 with the aim of providing financial support for specialised projects and objectives within our community.

The first donation of $25,800 will go towards the purchase of a lifesaving Hamilton T1 Ventilator machine for the Boyup Brook Hospital.  This will replace the current unit which has limitations including only providing invasive ventilation and requires trained staff. The Hamilton T1 can be used on all patients including children to the elderly and can be operated easily by staff guided by telehealth.

Chairman of the Boyup Brook Co-operative Board Michael Wright said, “We are delighted to be able to support our local hospital with this donation and look forward to the Hamilton T1 machine being available to assist those patients who require it at their most critical time”.

The second donation of $10,650 consisted of the purchase and construction of a patio for the courtyard area of the Boyup Brook Citizens Lodge.  This will allow the residents to enjoy the outdoor area with their guests without getting sunburnt or wet. 

Manager of the Lodge Maria Bogar said, “we are thrilled with this very generous gift and look forward to the weather improving so our resident’s can enjoy more morning teas and lunches outdoors with their guests”.
