St John auxiliary marks long legacy of support

St John of God Berwick Hospital Auxiliary recently held their Christmas lunch to mark continued support over several decades.

On Wednesday 26 November, the auxiliary held its lunch at Holm Park Recreation Reserve, with special guest Santa Claus.

The auxiliary continues a legacy spanning more than 70 years, providing critical fundraising support for the hospital.

In just the last 25 years, the auxiliary has raised over $200,000 which helped secure more equipment, staff and services at the hospital.

Gazette photographer Gary Sissons attended the lunch to capture the many members.
