In 2024, we were thrilled to host our annual wine dinner in recognition and commemoration of the Suncoast Community Legal Service 40th Anniversary!
On Thursday, 14 March 2024, members of the Sunshine Coast legal fraternity raised a record-breaking $50,000 for the Suncoast Community Legal Service (SCLS) at a wine dinner held at Venue 114, with every cent raised going towards ensuring access to justice for the most vulnerable in the local community. Now in its fourth year, the annual fundraising event welcomed more than 200 guests who generously participated in a lively auction and raffle while tasting some of Australia’s best wines. Thanks to our community’s generosity, we have collectively raised $137,000 over the last four years.
We are so grateful to the community and profession for their ongoing involvement to support the vital work of the SCLS, meaning more people can get help with their legal problems before the issue becomes overwhelming. Everyone in our community should have access to legal advice when they need it. SCLS has provided over 3,000 free advice sessions in the past year, none of which would be possible without the dedication of the 80+ volunteers, the support of partners, and everyone who attended, sponsored, and donated to make this event a success. Together, we’re making justice accessible to all on the Sunshine Coast.
