A record number of emergency services, Indigenous organisations, sport and recreation clubs, preschools, and health and wellbeing initiatives were given grants by the electricity company’s Community Partnerships Program.
“Not-for profit groups are the lifeblood of local communities, and we’re proud to support their invaluable work,” Transgrid spokesperson Maryanne Graham said.
Moulamein’s Men’s Shed and Rice Museum, football and netball club, community gym and bowling club were among grant recipients.
The men’s shed funding will be used to buy new hardware for the woodworking program.
“It will give us up-to-date and modern equipment that’s safer to use and far more efficient,” local Men’s Shed member Colin Adams said.
Moulamein community gym will also use the money for new equipment, while the bowling club will fund a community yoga initiative, and the football and netball club will replace carpet at the facility to improve member safety.
Barham-Koondrook and District Show Society also received funding for the annual show entertainment, which brings the community together and aims to promote connection and mental health in the area.
