RFBI Raleigh Urunga Masonic Village recently hosted the 2025 RFBI Annual Review Luncheon, bringing together residents, our Board of Directors, Leadership Team and staff to celebrate another remarkable year and a very special milestone, 145 years of RFBI supporting older Australians.

The luncheon was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to reflect on our achievements, recognise the dedication of our teams across New South Wales and the ACT and share in the spirit of community that has defined RFBI since 1880.

Guests were warmly welcomed by Jenny Chapman, General Manager of RFBI Raleigh Urunga Masonic Village, along with David Adams, RFBI Chairman and Frank Price, RFBI CEO who spoke about RFBI’s long-standing commitment to excellence, compassion and innovation in aged care.

A highlight of the day was the cutting of RFBI’s 145th Birthday Cake, with the honour given to [Insert Name of Resident/Community Member], who proudly represented all residents in marking this momentous occasion.

Following the celebration, attendees enjoyed the presentation of the 2024–25 Annual Review, showcasing RFBI’s progress and priorities over the past year. The presentation reflected on the close of our 2020–25 Strategic Plan and the launch of our new 2025–30 Strategic Plan, which will guide our direction in the years ahead.
