LOCAL GROUPS RECEIVE FUNDING
Organisations in three locations within the Berowra electorate have received funding under the Family Support Program amounting to some $35,000 in total.
Local Federal MP Philip Ruddock said he felt sure the money would be well-spent by the groups receiving it.
‘While the amounts paid, ranging from $10,500 to 14,186 may be modest, I am confident many children will benefit.’
‘These funds are used to provide important services such as parenting skills training, relationship counselling, playgroups and more intensive support for vulnerable and at-risk children and families.’
The local groups which have received the grants are –
Thinking Hats Early Learning Centre at Beecroft,
Chilverleigh Early Learning at Thornleigh and,
St Matthews Anglican Church at West Pennant Hills.
