Vinnies funding makes lasting difference

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch with Krystal Lyle

St Vincent de Paul Society Woy Woy has received $18,528 under the State Government’s Community Building Partnership program (CBP) to expand its support centre.

Vinnies co-ordinator Krystal Lyle said the government grant was welcomed and would be used to improve facilities for locals.

“We are truly grateful for the funding, which will be critical in allowing us to innovate our support delivery model and create a more collaborative centre for our community,” she said.

“The contribution will make a significant and lasting difference here in Woy Woy.”

The Rosalee’s Garden renovation project aims to transform an existing building into a modern, inclusive community hub.

The revitalisation will prioritise client privacy and dignity by creating secure and comfortable, wheelchair-accessible spaces for essential services with expanding consultation rooms, lift access, collaborative office spaces and safety for staff and visitors.

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the funding would deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities such as Vinnies at Woy Woy.

“It’s great to see this grassroots funding supporting local projects that make a real difference on the Central Coast,” she said.

The Gosford electorate has secured $448,000 in funding for a total of 22 infrastructure projects through the $41M CBP program.

“I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing the positive outcomes in our community,” Tesch said.
