VOLUNTEER GRANTS AWARDED

Congratulations to all the recipients of the 2023-24 Volunteer Grants.

I am so pleased that 55 organisations across the electorate will share in $65,225 to support the incredible work of volunteers.

Volunteers are the backbone of our community, providing their time and expertise to make life better for those around them.

They are drawn from all walks of life. I thank them for their ongoing contributions.

The grant recipients include Surf Life Saving Clubs, sports groups, P&C associations and Rural Fire Brigades.

The funding will be put to use in a variety of ways including purchasing small portable equipment, contributing to the cost of training or accreditation of volunteers and reimbursement of fuel costs.
