Aeralife Northcote was a major sponsor of the highly successful Northcote Rise Festival. The festival made a triumphant return on Sunday 18th February after a 13-year hiatus.
Northcote Rise Festival – celebrating community and diversity
Run by the Victorian Business Association and co-sponsored by Aeralife Northcote, the Festival celebrates community, cultural diversity, and local businesses. Festival-goers enjoyed music, street artists, small businesses, and a superb selection of street and restaurant dining. The Festival brought feel-good vibes to the heart of Northcote and boosted local businesses and the community.
Aeralife Northcote – a focus on community and care
Aeralife Northcote’s co-sponsorship of the Festival reflects our focus on giving back to the community and providing high-quality care to residents from nationalities as diverse as the artists who performed at the Festival. A key part of our sponsorship included naming rights to the Community Stage (see image gallery) which hosted an eclectic mix of musicians like Wakaido Rindo, Gusto Gusto, and Amos Roach.
The Aeralife Northcote marquee was set up near the Community Stage. The Aeralife team was on hand to provide helpful information to people inquiring about aged care and the Festival. Our Aeralife ‘showbag’ proved popular, as did our stamps for kids’ passports to win prizes.
Aeralife CEO John Rutledge (see main picture and image gallery) introduced the St. Joseph’s Primary Choir and spoke eloquently about Aeralife’s focus on community and quality care and how it complements the aims of the Festival.
More than just another event
The huge popularity of the Northcote Rise Festival shows that’s it’s not just another event. The event celebrates the charm, pride, and vibrancy of the Northcote community. Residents, artists, and small businesses unite for a special summer day.
For us, it’s about supporting an event that reflects our core values of person-centred, high-quality care with empathy, and through assistive technology.
