We talk to Deb Brook the founder of Bayside Community Emergency Relief (BCER). Deb has been involved in charitable organizations all her life and BCER got started as a Facebook group during the bushfires. The group was so successful that Deb was urged to continue with her model of organising more formally as a registered charity. The results is the BCER as it is today - as Deb herself says "small but mighty" - a highly successful, incredibly hard working charity doing amazing things in our community. You will notice (especially on video) that we had a few technical issues but I hope it won't distract from the interview.
You can find out more or volunteer for projects run by the BCER at their Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/baysidecer
Beaumaris Lions will be assisting BCER with their November toy drive.
