Local community programs in the Hunter and around the county are what help make Australia a stronger and nicer place to live, according to Lyne MP David Gillespie.
He's encouraging all local community groups to apply for the Federal Government's Stronger Communities Programme (SCP) with grants of up to $20,000 available for local groups to make their groups better and keep them going strong.
"It's for grants in each electorate for community groups that have nowhere else to turn for equipment upgrades and for other things for their voluntarily community based groups. Grants of $2,500 up to $20,000, it's a real life saver for community groups because they really value add and make our communities stronger," said David Gillespie.
Expressions of interest will be assessed by a community consultation group, which will be appointed by the Lyne MP.
"Community based organisations like Scouts, Lions, Rotary, all the self help groups, you name it. We want to support community groups that make Australia a stronger and nicer place to live."
