Our team sponsor and provide other assistance
to numerous Community Groups
At Potent we have a healthy appreciation for those individuals and organisations who invest in the local community that we're a part of.
As such we're pleased to sponsor The Weerama Festival, The Wyndham Carols, Werribee Little Athletics, Hoppers Crossing Football Club and Barnestonworth United (Juniors Soccer) as well as supporting the B24 Liberator restoration project and the Victoria State Rose Garden run by volunteers.
We are especially proud long term sponsors of Openaid International who work in south-east Asia to assist vulnerable girls and victims of sexual exploitation, equipping them to live free and fullfilled lives.
We also proudly host the David Calleja Memorial Car Show & Rally which raises funds annually to assist with Patient Benefits in Health Services in the Bacchus Marsh & Melton areas.
The Hobsons Bay Community Financial Services, trading as the Laverton / Altona Meadows, Altona and Point Cook Community Banks® are allied with the Bendigo Bank. We are proud to be able to provide the website for this organisation who give back tens of thousands of dollars to Local Community Groups each and every year.
If you're local then we encourage you to be involved and support any of these great organisations.
Every year families celebrate the coming of Christmas at the Carols by Candlelight event at Werribee Park, where the historic site is transformed into a visual masterpiece as thousands of candles light up the night sky.
The event attracts thousands of families who join in the spirit of Christmas. Bring along a picnic hamper and share a wonderful experience with family and friends.
Presented by Wyndham Christian Ministers Network and supported by Parks Victoria, Wyndham City Council, Wyndham Community Cultural Foundation, Triple R Waste Management and ourselves.

Openaid's vision is to see vulnerable girls and victims of sexual exploitation equipped to live free and fullfilled lives.
Openaid plays a significant role in the work of protecting, treating and caring for young Asian girls most at-risk and/or severely abused and exploited. In Melbourne, the program is designed to actively interact and connect within its own community and importantly raise funds to advance the development of Openaid. Over the next decade, Openaid will be structurally designed to deliver vital work for human rights and social development, engage a wider support base and circumnavigate the inherent problems that big agencies are unable to deal with by themselves.
Openaid's partnerships with supporters and sponsors enables them to benefit future generations as well as the present generation. Find out more...

The B24 Restoration Project has acquired some 90% of the airframe and 70% of its furniture and fittings from many parts of the world and from generous benefactors.
This B-24 Liberator was a Long Range Heavy Bomber in the South West Pacific Area during World War II. This is the only remaining Liberator in the southern hemisphere, and is one of only eight still existent in the world.
Restoration is proceeding in one of the World War II hangars on the old Werribee airfield just outside Melbourne, and it is our intention that the airframe will be completely restored. Find out more...
Victoria State Rose Garden
The Victoria State Rose Garden displays over 5000 roses (covering about 6 acres). The garden is one of the tourist gems of Victoria, awarded the International Garden of Excellence by the World Federation Of Rose Societies in 2003.
It was the first rose garden outside of Europe to receive this Award and the only one (at that time) cared for entirely by volunteers.
Apart from the fresh air, learning & satisfaction the other advantages of volunteering is the camaraderie of like-minded people, which is one of the best feelings for the volunteers as they toil in the beautiful garden. You can support the volunteers by making gold coin donations on your entry. Find out more...
