The Bell Tower in the Community
Light Up for a Cause
The Bell Tower Illuminates More Than the Night Sky
As part of our dedication to our local community, The Bell Tower is proud to be able to partner with local community groups, charities, and not-for-profit organisations. Our Community Tower Project focuses on supporting these groups with fundraising donations, “lighting up” for significant events and awareness campaigns, and promoting their causes to our ever-growing social media following.

September 29, 2026  🚔 WA Police Remembrance Day 2026 💙 On Police Remembrance Day, we stand with the WA Police Union to remember the brave police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the people of Western Australia. Behind every badge is a person who answered the call to serve their community. For some, that commitment came at the highest possible cost. Their courage, dedication and selflessness will never be forgotten. We honour the families, friends and colleagues who continue to carry their memory. Their sacrifice is part of our history, our culture and our responsibility to remember. |

September 30, 2026  💛 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 💛 Every year in Australia, hundreds of children and their families face the unimaginable reality of a childhood cancer diagnosis. Behind every statistic is a child with dreams, a family navigating fear and uncertainty, and a community hoping for a cure. Awareness is more than wearing gold—it's about advocating for better treatments, increased research, and supporting families who are walking this difficult journey. This September, we honour the brave children who are fighting, remember those who are no longer with us, and stand beside the families whose lives have been forever changed. Please join us in raising awareness, sharing their stories, and helping shine a light on childhood cancer. 💛 For the fighters. 💛 For the survivors. 💛 For the angels. 💛 For the families. | October 1, 2026 |

October 5, 2026  Meningitis is a devastating and debilitating infection that can affect anyone, anywhere, at any time. Every year people come together on World Meningitis Day to raise awareness and encourage global action to defeat this disease. There are more than 2.5 million cases of meningitis worldwide every year. It kills 1 in 10 people, and tragically, around half of meningitis deaths are children under 5 years. 1 in 5 survivors will live with life-long disabilities including hearing loss, brain damage, limb loss and epilepsy. | October 6, 2026 |

October 23, 2026 This year, The Bell Tower will shine in support of the Variety Toy Bank Toy Drive, a campaign dedicated to bringing comfort, dignity and hope to children entering women’s refuges across Western Australia. Each year, the Variety Toy Bank collects brand-new toys for children who have had to leave everything behind, ensuring they feel valued, supported and cared for during an incredibly difficult time. The campaign culminates in the annual Variety Toy Bank Luncheon at The Kingsman, where supporters, partners and volunteers come together to celebrate generosity and community spirit. In 2026, the Toy Bank campaign will coincide with National Children’s Week, highlighting every child’s right to feel safe, supported and experience a sense of joy and belonging. By lighting up for this important initiative, we shine a light on the power of community, and the simple but profound impact a toy can make in a child’s life. | October 24, 2026 | October 25, 2026 | |
