The Woy Woy Peninsula Swans have received $2,500 through the Federal Government’s Stronger Communities Program.
The club will use the grant funding to buy canteen equipment including a chest freezer and barbecue utensils.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid said the Swans were an outstanding local sporting organisation.
“The Stronger Communities Program supports local organisations with infrastructure and equipment needs,” he said.
“I am pleased to see grant funding go towards supporting volunteers at the Woy Woy Peninsula Swans.
“It is important that our local sporting clubs are well resourced so that they can continue supporting and encouraging younger Australians to be active and part of a sporting team.
Swans President Lara Davis said the funding would help the club better manage its canteen.
“(The money) will be used to upgrade the canteen and barbecue facilities at our home ground at Rogers Park,” she said.
“The canteen forms a central hub for the club, part of the socialising for parents during training and a zone of excitement for kids on game days”.
“The canteen and barbecue are run by our fabulous parent volunteers.
“A lot of the canteen equipment is old and required upgrading.
“More than one of our volunteers had made suggestions on what equipment we needed to upgrade.”
Davis said the purchases would include a chest freezer, needed to store ice in case of injuries.
