20.01.2022 The Goldfields-Esperance Community Trust and Kyran O'Donnell MLA are working together to start a Community Chest to help out residents and families who might be doing it tough during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Goldfields has a reputation as a very caring and generous community so if you can help out, no matter how small or large the donation, please see details below.

11.01.2022 Thank you Mining Legends for the amazing job you did in raising funds for our community and making it possible for the GECT to contribute on your behalf to this fantastic initiative of Curtin University/WASM to trying to encourage students to come to KB. We hope they all enjoy the programme and decide to make KB home for their studies and eventually return to work in our region.

10.01.2022 Thanks to Ashton George and EBM for sponsoring our co-hosting of the KBCCI December Business After Hours at Hammond Park. The Trust sponsored 5 $100 Pay it Forward vouchers for school books/stationery. The winners were drawn out and then paid it forward by donating their voucher to a local school. Lias Ellery, Chair of the GECT, presented the winners with their certificates - Ken Ball, Kalgoorlie Monumental Works; Tom Spurling, Coopers Carpet Cleaning; Bradley Crockett, BMC Plumbing & Gas; Angelo Sbizzirri, Westralia Homes and Troy Anderson, SWG.
