Community is at the heart of country life, and no more so than in the picturesque Light Region of South Australia. Community gatherings offer opportunities for people to join together and support each other and plan for a prosperous and happy future, often with a focus on ensuring no one misses out on all the community can offer. 

The Light Regional Farm & 4x4 Expo held on March 25th and 26th 2022 provided a major community event and barometer for social, economic, agricultural prosperity and growth in the entire region, and was held at The FARM Centre in Freeling.  

Operated by Belgravia Leisure, the team at The FARM led by Venue Manager Ross Sharer provided outstanding support to the Expo, and value-added by leading fundraising through Belgravia Foundation to support community programs.  

Daisy the Donkey was a star of the fundraising at the Expo, strutting about on a lush well-grassed grid and, well… did what well fed donkeys do – poo! Combined, over two arduous days munching grass and letting nature take its’ course, Daisy along with a Jumping Castle activity raised $1,119.90.  

All of this money is reserved for use entirely in the community and will support inclusive cooking classes designed to enable improved independence, food choices, healthy eating and social connection.
