Volunteer groups receive funding

Seven Peninsula volunteer organisations will receive more than $17,400 in funding under the Federal Government's Volunteer Grants initiative.

Member for Robertson Ms Belinda Neal said the funding boost would allow the Peninsula groups to purchase much-needed equipment.

"Volunteer organisations form the foundation of the strong community networks in the Peninsula district," Ms Neal said.

"They provide vital services to Peninsula residents and I am thrilled that these groups are being supported with much-needed grants for new equipment and for fuel costs.

"The St John Ambulance Peninsula Division will use its $3000 grant to purchase a defibrillator, a vital piece of lifesaving equipment.

"The Beachside Family Centre at Umina delivers important education development programs that strengthen and enrich the local community, including early literacy programs, community support networks and even parents' groups.

"The centre will use its $1126 grant to purchase computer equipment, including a laptop and hard drive."

Other local volunteer groups to receive funding include Killcare Wagstaffe Rural Fire Service ($3209), The Rotary Club of Woy Woy ($3993), Peninsula Touch Association ($1988), Hope Church in Umina ($2500) and the Seniors Social and Friendship Club Inc ($1650).
