Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has congratulated four local Somerset community groups who successfully applied to Round 120 of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
Mrs Frecklington said the groups would share in more than $120,000 which would help them undertake upgrades to facilities and purchase much needed equipment.
“I am so pleased these hard-working community groups have been rewarded with grants which will help them achieve key projects,” Mrs Frecklington said.
The successful groups in our region include:
Somerset Assist – Purchase a vehicle
Care4Esk Inc – Purchase a trailer, rain tank and equipment
Esk Community Choir – Install projector
Esk State School P and C – Purchase musical equipment
“Without our community groups, sporting clubs, and all those who volunteer their time, most of the events and activities we love would just not happen,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“It is great to see so many of them get this funding boost and be able to get their important projects underway.
“Clubs are always welcome to call my office on 4190 7100 for advice and support for their next Gambling Community Benefit Fund grant application.”
