Cronulla RSL Community
Supporting Cronulla and the local area through sport, social groups and charitable organisations #ibelonghere
Since our inception, community has been at the very core of everything Cronulla RSL has undertaken.
With a deep-rooted commitment to serving and supporting the local community, our club consistently strives to make a positive and lasting impact.
Beyond our primary role as a veterans' club, we have extended our reach to various community initiatives, charitable causes, and events that uplift and enrich the lives of individuals and families in the Sutherland Shire. Whether through sponsorships, donations, or volunteer efforts, Cronulla RSL has become a trusted and beloved institution, embodying the spirit of unity, compassion, and support.
