25.01.2022 This month is Tradies National Health Month. Michael, pictured below, was a stonemason and worked with artificial stone on a daily basis. Earlier this year, Michael was diagnosed with silicosis, an incurable lung disease that is often fatal. He was lucky enough to go and get a checkup and find his silicosis early, allowing him the opportunity to get himself out of the industry to give himself the best possible chance.

24.01.2022 As you may be aware, each month, in every Grilld restaurant three Local Matters jars promote three community groups for their guests to support. With every burger ordered, a Local Matters token is handed over to YOU to drop into the jar of their choice. At the end of the month $500 is split between the groups ($300 for 1st, $100 for 2nd and 3rd). This month it is our turn! At the Grilld Restaurant in Claremont, Charlies Foundation for Research will have its own jar! Pleas...e head to Grilld Claremont not only for the AH-MAY-ZING burgers and those delicious chips, but also to support Charlies!
