Umina Bunnies Junior Rugby League Football Club (JRLFC) has received $5,000 from the Federal Government’s 2023/24 Volunteer Grants.
The football club will use the funds to cover the costs involved with volunteer first aid accreditation, first aid uniforms, first aid kits and sports equipment to ensure the viability of the club.
President Shannon Michie said the club was grateful for Reid’s support.
“Our wonderful Junior Vice President David Murray obtained the grant for our club to assist with our volunteers’ costs for education – sports first aid accreditations, specific first aid clothing for games, first aid kits, and equipment needed for our many players, and teams,” Michie said.
“These volunteers are a vital part of our rugby league community and as the club grows the need for more supporting staff increases.”
Federal Member for Robertson Gordon Reid said Umina Bunnies JRLFC was an excellent sports organisation, supporting and nurturing the development of young rugby league players.
“The Federal Labor Government wants to promote and enhance our local sporting clubs,” he said.
“It is important that our young are active from an early age and continue to live healthy lifestyles as they mature.
“I commend the club, its president, leadership team and all the players on receiving Federal Government support.”
