About
Since its inception in 2018, the Ashbury Community Fund has awarded almost $170,000 in funding to a variety of worthy recipients involved across all facets of the community including sporting groups, schools, cultural organisations, senior citizens groups and health-based services.
The Community Fund initiative was inspired by the vision of Dennis Family Corporation Founder, Bert Dennis, as a way of giving back to the communities that the company creates.
