Gosford CBD Community Hub has received $7,279 under the NSW Community Building Partnership Program to fund a security upgrade and create a more accessible workplace.
Hub Coordinator, Kim Anderson, said the funding was very necessary and most welcomed.
“We have had break-ins and security breaches in recent times,” she said.
“The organisation will be able to … purchase security doors which will help protect staff as well as the organisation’s stock.
“Space is also an issue that we will be able to address, on top of accessibility for non-able bodied residents.”
Anderson thanked Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch, for her continued support of the Hub when she visited recently to hear about the critical new changes that will take place with the funding.
“Gosford CBD Community Hub does an amazing job caring for vulnerable residents by providing affordable groceries through its food co-op and other critical support services,” Tesch said.
“This funding will help the organisation reconfigure its work spaces to increase storage, improve security features and accessibility; I look forward to seeing the upgrades.”
Gosford CBD Community Hub assists anyone who might be experiencing adversity or struggling with the cost of living.
It is open Monday to Thursday, 9am-4pm and on Fridays via a phone service on 4326 7359.
