Every year the Liquor Accord holds its major fundraiser for the year, a charity golf day, which raises on average $15,000, which is distributed to various community charities.
Iris Dorsett, from the Liquor Accord said the group has been donating to the Community Christmas Lunch for years.
“We’re very happy to be supporting Barney [Rumble] we’ve been supporting the event for the past four years giving $1500 a year.
“It’s a great cause, and that’s what the community golf day is all about, giving back to the community.”
Accord president, Stumpy Taylor said giving to the community luncheon was an effective way to give something back to as many people as possible.

In addition to supporting the luncheon, the accord is the biggest sponsor for the Christmas Miracle Appeal, donating a massive $7600, which went towards purchasing items for 1200 Christmas hampers, which were distributed across the city on Sunday.
Helen Seaman, from the community luncheon said without the support of the Liquor Accord the event would not be able to be held.
