Sunbury residents recently displayed their talents, skills and diversity at a colourful Redstone festa showcase.

The event was held in late July to celebrate the Sunbury community groups that received sponsorship and grants from Villawood Properties’.

Villawood chief executive Alan Miller said the assistance was an important way of giving back to the Sunbury community.

“We were able to see some of Sunbury’s great talent and efforts in action, showing just how rich the local community is,” Mr Miller said.

“Our foundation grants are about helping grow Sunbury’s bank of community goodwill and care… and [to help] local groups big and small to grow their membership and activities.”

Foundation ambassador Jacqui Felgate oversaw the event and said the showcase was a celebratory affair for Sunbury.

“The idea of giving back is a simple but powerful way of helping the community and its people achieve their very best,” she said.

“Places like Sunbury have a wealth of talent and goodwill that often just needs that bit extra to realise its full potential.”

The Sunbury recipients include Salesian College, Rupertswood Football and Netball Club, Sunbury Basketball Association, Goonawarra Golf Club, Friends of Emu Bottom, Sunbury Cricket Club, Sunfest, Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen and Flashdance Performing Arts.
