July At A Glance
Giving is always rewarding!
Giving takes on many forms through the WeCare @ North West - Service Weeks programme. In efforts to rally corporate, community and school partners to come together, the North West CDC hopes to promote a culture of giving back within the community. In this article, we follow the volunteers from various organisations on what giving back means to them, and how this distribution has provided extra support to those in need.
Buddies on the Run!
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be part of the North West Running Club? We caught up with Dr Lim and his running kakis as they explore the trails of Canberra on foot. If you want to get started on a new fitness regime, or run for fun or change your usual running route, watch the video and be inspired!
EAT, DRINK & GO SHOPPING!
There's no need to be intimidated by the digital CDC vouchers. It is convenient, easy to claim, and you can spend it on the go without the hassle of having to bring another set of physical vouchers. We spoke to some seniors who have been using the digital vouchers since the launch.
Back To Work

It only takes a minute to Green it!
The "Minute to Green it" campaign led by a group of Ngee Ann Polytechnic final year students, aims to demonstrate that it only takes a few minutes a day to make a positive impact on the environment. Following two characters, Milli and Nova, it portrays green efforts in a light-hearted manner through small but important tasks to combat climate change.
Stay Posted
For years now, North West CDC has been assisting less-privilege students. Two thirds into the campaign, the CDC, with the support of companies, schools, and individuals, have raised half a million dollars, exceeding the target ahead of time.
The funds raised will enable students under North West CDC's care to have access to equal educational opportunities to pursue their dreams.
