Grants for Wide Bay volunteer community groups
Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien today announced that 40 community groups in Wide Bay will share in more than $160,000 to support the work of almost 1,200 volunteers.
“The Coalition Government’s Volunteer Grants program has allocated $163,857 to 40 community groups in Wide Bay, enabling them to purchase new equipment, and meet training and transport costs,” Mr O’Brien said.
“These grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 enable local organisations to better support their volunteers.
“Our communities wouldn’t be the same without the efforts of local volunteers, doing the extraordinary, improving the lives of others.
“In a diverse range of ways, community groups supported by volunteers, deliver services, support and assistance. This funding recognizes the work and contributions of volunteers, who give their time and energy to help build stronger, more cohesive communities.
“I’m glad that our local organisations will have this support to continue their valuable work and I congratulate the organisations on the success of their applications,” Mr O’Brien said.
Mr O’Brien added that next week, from 8th May, is National Volunteer Week, and encouraged everyone to acknowledge the important work of our volunteers and their organisations in building stronger communities.
“The energy, expertise and time our volunteers give to our community supports those most in need and represents what Australian communities are all about – giving a helping hand.
“If you know of a volunteer who deserves special recognition, please visit the One Stop Shop page on my website www.llewobrien.com.au to access a volunteer nomination form, or call my office on 4121 2936 and I can arrange to present them with a certificate to thank them for their service.”
