| The Newcastle Permanent is donating over $820,000 in grants. |
The Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation will donate more than $820,000 to community projects across regional NSW to support disadvantaged residents.
The grants will be spread from Ballina in the north, down to Gosford and out to Dubbo to 13 charities that will help provide vital programs to those who need it most.
Foundation Chairman, Phil Neat is particularly excited about the $186,000 donation to the John Hunter Hospital neonatal intensive care unit.
"It's to install 43 webcams in the baby rooms so that parents and relatives who live in remote areas can communicate with the baby during a prolonged stay in the hospital," he said.
The money will support community organisations to complete initiatives that may fall outside of government funding or corporate sponsorship such as Wigs and Kids and Wheelchair Sports NSW.
