Member for Nicholls Sam Birrell has welcomed nearly $60,000 in Federal funding to support volunteers across Nicholls.

28 organisations will share in the funding of grants between $1,000 and $5,000, including Seymour Railway Heritage Centre and Mitchell Shire Concert Band.

Mr Birrell said the money would support the efforts of volunteers as well as help increase participation in volunteering.

“While the grants are small, they will have a much bigger impact on our community,” he said.

“During the last few years sporting clubs and community organisations have suffered a lot of disruption and this funding will help to rebuild, reconnect, and provide support.

The grants can be used in a variety of ways including purchasing equipment, upskilling, and training volunteers as well as travel costs.”

Mr Birrell thanked volunteers for their ongoing work.

“Volunteers bring communities together and drive physical and social wellbeing of residents,” he said.

“Community groups, projects, services, and events would not and could not go ahead without the efforts of volunteers.”
