South Port Day Links (SPDL) is a local not for profit, volunteer based organisation that has been delivering services to older people, people with a disability and those who care for them who are residents of the City of Port Phillip for nearly thirty (30) years. The services provided by SPDL enable local residents to remain socially connected, independent and to continue living in their homes. They do this by providing a door to door community transport service within theCity of Port Phillip to access health appointments, recreational, shopping and other activities essential to everyday living and personal well-being.
Each year RAP donates $5000 towards the funding of their Honda vehicles. These photos show the reference to RAP on their fleet of vehicles which can be seen on a regular basis in our neighbourhood.

OneBall is a free community program designed for young people aged between 8-18 years. The program provides opportunities for young people from CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) backgrounds across Melbourne to play soccer in a social setting and encourages them to:
- be fit and active, and to enhance both their physical and psychological health and wellbeing
- develop positive cross-cultural relationships with others, and
- feel more connected and empowered to make a positive contribution to their community.
OneBall is a not-for-profit program founded by Kamal Ibrahim, a former young Socceroo and current NPL player. The program is generously supported by the City of Port Philip and the Port Melbourne 'Sharks' Soccer Club.

Along with about 20 other contributors, Past President Joan Robison received a Certificate of Appreciation at the opening ceremony for the YWCA Lakehouse on Friday 20th July, 2018. The official opening was performed by the Governor of Victoria, Hon. Linda Dessau AC and Hon. Martin Foley MP, Minister for Housing, Disability & Ageing (and also the local MP). The work & contribution of our members in providing linen & towels (sourced from members, friends and Rotary Donations In Kind store), welcome packs of toiletries and library books may seem relatively small (in dollar terms) compared to some of the building materials works & equipment provided by some corporate, the impact of such personal touches for the new residents is immeasurable and not to be overlooked or discounted .
The shortage of emergency response vehicles is a serious problem being faced in the Western Cape, South Africa, with the numerous fires that need to be contended with. The lack of vehicles often leads to emergency services taking up to 40 minutes to arrive at disaster scenes, especially in more remote areas. It goes without saying that the vital lost time can literally mean the difference between life and death. With the help of Rotary Albert Park, The Rotary Club of Newlands were able to donate a multipurpose vehicle to the Emergency Volunteer Services (EVS).
Below are some stories and video of the project:
Rotary Albert Park runs a book recycling project where it collects books from local libraries and from direct donations, sorts and redistributes them in various ways to benefit the community. On the third Saturday of each month at the Farmers Market at Gasworks Park (weather permitting) we have a wide selection of these recycled books for sale. We are located at the back of Priscilla Jones' Cafe in Graham Street, Albert Park.
