Five local community and sporting groups have received a share of $10,000 in funding to help them support Mitchell Shire residents through their various programs and initiatives.
The grants, which were awarded by Broadstead developer Jinding as part of the organisation’s Broadstead Community Grants program, aims to recognise the importance of local groups in creating a sense of community.
Recipients of the program’s second year included the North Central Mothers Network, the Kilmore Junior Football Club, the Learning Brain Kilmore, Goranwarrabul House, and Get Started Disability Support Australia, with each organisation receiving $2000.
The recipients were chosen by a panel comprising of Gavin Wilson of Mitchell Shire Council, North Central Review General Manager Richard Reid, Red23 Managing Director Terry Portelli, and Jinding General Manager of Developments Dr Andrew Ashwood, who praised the reach of the program and the support it offered the community.
“It is fantastic to be celebrating our second year of the Broadstead Community Grants program in Kilmore,” he said.
“The calibre of local organisations established to help others in this region is outstanding and demonstrates the depth of community and care in this area. It is a privilege to support such dedicated groups as they make a real difference.
“Judging was a tough gig, but we feel we have selected a range of groups whose impact will be vast and help many in need.
“We’re grateful to have been welcomed into the Kilmore community and look forward to contributing to its future through Broadstead. The way people come together to support one another makes this area a truly special place to call home. We aim to continue that tradition.”
The Review would like to congratulate each of the recipients of Broadstead’s Community Grants program, and looks forward to hearing their stories of success in the future.
