A common misconception is that they are a branch of VicSES or that they are paid staff.

They are in fact completely independent of all other Emergency Services, something that is unique to Shepparton and they do not receive funding from the State or Federal Governments.

To enter the raffle, visit clubraffles.online/sheppartoncharityraffle, or drop into the Shepparton Club at 455 Wyndham Street on Friday, November 17, for a refreshing drink and a scrumptious meal and to support this wonderful charity. For bookings call 58314488.
