VFBV Black Saturday Volunteer Recovery Fund

Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria has created a Trust Fund to enable those wishing to provide assistance specifically to volunteer firefighters and their brigades affected by the February 2009 Bushfires.

The Fund called "VFBV Black Saturday Volunteer Recovery Fund" is designed to complement the Bushfire Appeal and the CFA Donations Trust Fund and has been established by VFBV specifically to provide financial support to our volunteers.

Donations to the Fund are tax deductible and Trustees of the Fund are all volunteer firefighters and members of the VFBV Board.

Contributions to the Fund can be made through the Bendigo Bank:

BSB No: 633 000
Account No: 136 263 787

The VFBV Black Saturday Volunteer Recovery Fund is distinctly separate from the VFBV Volunteer Welfare Fund, VFBV maintains to assist volunteer firefighters and their families who experience financial difficulties from time to time. As well as being financed by contributions from brigades the Welfare Fund welcomes contributions from the wider community.

People wishing to make contributions to the broader community appeal are encouraged to do so through Red Cross 1800 811 700 or go to www.redcross.org.au and those wishing to target donations to specific brigades or to general volunteer support initiatives can do so through the CFA Donations Trust Fund, contact CFA on 9262 8542.
