Club Charlestown has always been a strong part of the Charlestown electorate community. Their slogan is "Where good friends meet", but time and time again Club Charlestown has shown that they are a good friend to our community.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the club kept the community's spirit alive by continuing to host its weekly raffles virtually and donating the proceeds to charity. It was no surprise to locals when Club Charlestown was nominated in the annual Clubs NSW and Community Awards in the 'Heart of the Community' category.
"While the club did not take home the silverware at the awards, held at Darling Harbour on Thursday 26 May, it was wonderful to see their efforts recognised publicly," Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison said in NSW Parliament on 8 June.
"I want to acknowledge the staff, in particular Sarah and Sally, ably led by chief executive officer Michael Gray, and the directors led by chairman Jeff Davis, for all the work they do to keep Club Charlestown going and to support our community—especially throughout the difficulties of the last several years. Congratulations, Club Charlestown!"
