LOCAL ORGANISATION – YOUTH INSEARCH FOUNDATION RECEIVES FUNDING OF $265,000
The Member for Berowra, Philip Ruddock MP stated that the Federal government has approved funding under the Community Investment Program of $265,000 until 30th June 2010 for the Youth Support Project previously funded through Local Answers.
“Youth Insearch Foundation under the leadership of Matt Davidson carries out important work throughout a large area of Sydney and certainly in my own electorate and that of bordering electorate of Mitchell,” Mr Ruddock said.
Youth Insearch helps young people 12 to 18 years of age who are disadvantaged by family breakdown, substance abuse, physical or sexual abuse, or grief related issues.
“The project has a strong community focus derived from its many partnerships with local communities and community service organisations.
“The Government recognises the importance of the work being carried out through the current suite of community programs that helps enormously in the community.
“Youth Insearch operates a unique model of service for youth services that has achieved very notable results in its 20 year history and is working to develop a sustainable and appropriate model of service delivery,” Philip Ruddock said.
