Committed to Our Community: Giving Back in Rockhampton
At Bolsover Dental Practice, our connection to the Rockhampton community extends far beyond the walls of our clinic. We believe deeply in the power of giving back and that a spirit of generosity, no matter the scale, can genuinely enrich lives and strengthen the vibrant fabric of our local area. We are immensely proud to support various local initiatives and organisations that make a real difference in Rockhampton and Central Queensland. Here are just a few highlights of our community involvement over the years, partnerships we cherish and look forward to continuing.
Nurturing Healthy Habits: Kindy Visits
One of our most joyful outreach efforts involves visiting local kindergartens and daycare centres throughout the Rockhampton area. We believe that fostering positive oral health habits from the earliest age is fundamental to lifelong wellbeing. These visits are all about making dental education fun and accessible for young children. Imagine bright little faces captivated during story time, as we read engaging books about the importance of brushing, which foods keep our teeth strong and healthy, and which sneaky ones can cause cavities. Through interactive sessions, songs, and demonstrations, we aim to empower children with the knowledge to care for their smiles, ensuring their first encounters with dental concepts are positive and encouraging.
Cheering on Our Local Champions: Rockhampton Basketball
For many years, Bolsover Dental Practice has been a proud and enthusiastic sponsor of Rockhampton Basketball, throwing our support behind our fantastic local teams, the Rockets and Cyclones! It’s more than just a sponsorship for us; it’s about being part of the passionate Rockhampton community spirit that rallies around our athletes. You might even spot some of our dentists and team members enthusiastically cheering from our corporate box – game nights are a highly anticipated event for many of us! Supporting local sports helps foster teamwork, dedication, and healthy lifestyles, values we champion both on and off the court.
Promoting Overall Wellbeing in Rockhampton: Apex Boxing and Fitness (formerly Archer Street Boxing)
Our commitment to health extends beyond dental wellness. We believe in supporting overall physical and mental wellbeing within our Rockhampton community. That’s why we’ve regularly partnered with and sponsored Apex Boxing and Fitness, located just a few doors down from our clinic, for various events and initiatives. We actively encourage our own staff to embrace active lifestyles, whether it’s attending classes at Apex or other fantastic local gyms and fitness centres in Rockhampton. Supporting organisations like Apex Boxing and Fitness aligns with our belief that a healthy community is a thriving community.
Harmonising with Youth: Rockhampton Youth Orchestra
Music has a profound ability to inspire, discipline, and uplift, and we are thrilled to support the incredible young talent within the Rockhampton Youth Orchestra. Since 2024, Bolsover Dental Practice has been a proud sponsor, specifically covering the annual musical lesson costs for a carefully selected student. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that this contribution directly benefits a deserving young musician from the Rockhampton area, allowing them to pursue their passion and develop their skills. Many of our own dentists are passionate about music and understand firsthand how learning an instrument can enrich a young person’s life on so many levels – fostering creativity, perseverance, and teamwork. We are honoured to play a small part in their musical journey.
Supporting Future Stars: Championing Lenny’s Tennis Aspirations
At Bolsover Dental Practice, we believe in nurturing individual talent and ambition within our Rockhampton community. That’s why we are incredibly proud to sponsor Lenny, a determined young local tennis player, helping him to attend various competitions and pursue his passion for the sport. Supporting young athletes like Lenny is about more than just the game; it’s about fostering dedication, sportsmanship, and the pursuit of personal excellence. We are thrilled to play a part in Lenny’s journey, cheering him on as he develops his skills and competes. It’s a joy to invest in the potential of our local youth and help them reach for their dreams.
From Check-ups to the Checkered Flag!
If you follow the QLD Super Sprint Series, keep a sharp eye out for this bright blue BMW! You’ll spot the Bolsover Dental Practice logo flying past on the headlights as Lee Wilson, Laura’s father (and Dr. Jeff’s father-in-law), takes to the track.
As a family-owned practice, we love supporting our team’s passions—especially when they involve this much speed! We’re proud to be along for the ride and wish him a fast, safe, and successful season.
