The Cerebral Palsy Alliance’s Erina Centre has received $6,350 in funding for new air conditioning for therapy rooms through the 2023 NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership Program.
Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the funds would deliver much-needed air conditioning improvements for the local disability therapy centre which supported countless individuals across the Central Coast who lived with cerebral palsy.
“I am absolutely delighted to have been able to support the Erina team of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance who do such an excellent job engaging and supporting with those living with cerebral palsy on the Coast, particularly children,” he said.
“It is vital that our local not-for-profit organisations receive the funding that they need to ensure their facilities are fit-for-purpose and that is why it is fantastic to be able to provide $6,350 in funding to install new air conditioning in individual therapy rooms.”
Crouch has previously been able to secure funding for the organisation including $15,841 in 2021 for a ceiling hoist system in the gym and therapy rooms and said the additional funding would only complement those improvements.
Therapy Manager at the Erina centre of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Rachael McGlynn said the funding would enable the centre to continue to provide world-class facilities for their clients.
“We support up to 450 children and adults with cerebral palsy and other physical and intellectual disabilities, and having the support from this funding ensures our facilities are world class and comfortable for our clients,” she said.
“Through generous support from this round of grants but also from previous grant rounds we have facilities to offer our clients that they can’t access anywhere else ensuring that they are getting the absolute best for their therapy.”
