We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves support, connection, and the opportunity to thrive. Our work centers around uniting people from all walks of life to uplift those in need and build a more compassionate, inclusive Melbourne.
Through a variety of thoughtfully designed events—from sports activities and charity fundraisers to cultural celebrations—we aim not only to provide immediate assistance but also to foster deep, meaningful connections between individuals. Each event is crafted to be welcoming, engaging, and impactful for all involved.
Guided by the visionary leadership of Arthur Fernandes and his extraordinary team, we operate with a shared commitment to kindness, laughter, and collaboration. Together, we are creating a movement where generosity, inclusivity, and community responsibility are at the heart of everything we do.
We invite you to join us in this vital mission. By working together, we can transform lives, strengthen bonds, and pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful future for those who need it most. Let’s make a real difference, together.
With over six years of dedicated volunteer work, Arthur Fernandes has been driven by a passion for fostering strong, connected communities. As the Visionary Director of Badminton Mumbaikar’s and The Melbourne Locals, he has devoted himself to bringing people together and making a meaningful impact.
What started in 2021 as a small badminton group of six has flourished into a thriving community of over 700 members under Arthur’s leadership. More than just a sports club, Badminton Mumbaikar’s has become a home away from home—a place where individuals from diverse backgrounds connect, support one another, and build lifelong friendships.
Arthur’s passion for community stems from his own journey. Having faced the challenges of relocation and social isolation, he understands the profound need for connection.
This realization inspired him to establish The Melbourne Locals—a platform where people feel welcomed, valued, and empowered, ensuring no one has to face life’s journey alone.
His commitment to community impact goes even further. Arthur works closely with the esteemed Friends of The Children Foundation, actively participating in charity initiatives that align with The Melbourne Locals’ core mission of giving back. Through these efforts, he continues to create opportunities for people to come together, support one another, and make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
Arthur’s vision of The Melbourne Locals is more than just an idea—it’s a movement. Through his unwavering dedication, he is not only building communities but transforming lives, ensuring that no one feels alone in this vast, diverse country. His passion for uniting people has become a powerful force for good, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he reaches.
Making a difference through charity and volunteerism—bringing hope, happiness, and brighter smiles to those in need.
