Fulham Gardens Primary School (2008)
In November 2008, Edge Church partnered with Henley/Fulham Uniting Church, Grange Baptist Church and the West Adelaide Football Club in renovating Fulham Gardens Primary School. Working closely with the school principal and teachers, the team renovated several areas including the installation of a brand new state of the art playground facility, landscaping and planting around school grounds and play areas, and repainting exterior areas surrounds including walls, bins and benches.
Women’s and Children’s Hospital (2007)
The 2007 renovation of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Paediatric Outpatient Area was a great success. The Outpatient area has over 250,000 people use this facility each year, with both children and staff greatly benefiting from this amazing transformation. The project involved 377 volunteers contributing from 16 different churches. We could not have achieved so much without the support of the volunteers and the businesses that donated their products and services. The Edge Foundation and Edge Church contributed a total of $61,000 in funds to support this project (total estimated project cost $350,000).
Women’s and Children’s Hospital (2006)
Hundreds of volunteers from a number of Christian churches across South Australia rallied together in the 2006 renovation of the Accommodation Unit at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The 2 week blitz completely renovated the on-site accommodation block for families including the transformation of 28 bedrooms, a common room, kitchen and bathrooms, and the provision of new furniture.
Morphett Vale High School (2004)
The 2004 transformation of Morphett Vale High School was our first major community project. Seeing a need that needed to be met, Edge Church (formerly known as Southside Christian Church) mobilised over 600 volunteers to help give the school and massive facelift including cleaning up garden beds and planting new plants, respraying chairs and tables, repainting bins, support poles, beams, handrails, benches and walls, new line marking and provision of 50 new computers.
