As residents across the country prepare for Christmas and get their singing voices ready for carols, the 900 residents in the small township of Bulla are preparing for their very own carols.
With funds from the Sunbury and Bulla Neighbourhood Fund, the Bulla Country Fire Authority (CFA) is uniting the community for a Carols by Candlelight at the Recreation Reserve on Saturday, December 16 at 4pm.
Lauren Parisi from the Bulla CFA said they saw an opportunity to make a positive impact through the fund and help connect the community.
“The aim of this event is to foster community spirit, and to provide an opportunity for locals to get together and develop community bonds,” she said.
“We don’t have many opportunities to do this in Bulla so we are really excited about this event.”
Artistic director Polly Christie said singing has scientifically proven health benefits and more so when singing with other people.
“Coming out of the pandemic, we know that we feel so much better about our place in the community when we know people, and we need to get out in the community to do that.”
