Enquiries: Enquiries to the Branch President - Inspector Gerry Rudkins at Bendigo Police Station.
The community of Bendigo have been supporting the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation since its formation in 1988 and the Regional Branch has staged some spectacular events including basketball games, football matches and Mayoral Balls to raise funds for the Bendigo Hospital. The Bendigo committee is served by dedicated volunteers and have the support of many local businesses and organisations. New members and volunteers are always welcome. By working with the Bendigo community the Branch has been able to provide a state of the art emergency department named in memory of Constables Steven Tynan & Damian Eyre as well as an Intensive Care Room named in memory of Senior Constable Norm Curson. A regular program of scholarship grants to nurses in the hospital's emergency department is also funded. The next project to be funded and dedicated by the Bendigo Branch will be the new Short Stay Unit at Bendigo Hospital.
