Kincumber Village, owned by ISPT, has given Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre $10,000 to support its work within the community.
“Local groups play such a vital role in supporting and enriching the lives of their local communities and the Community Kickstart grant program aims to amplify these efforts by providing financial funding and support to help sustain and expand their projects and services,” a spokesperson said.
“The Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre provides community members with a space to meet, learn, connect and find support.
“The Kincumber Community Eco Garden forms part of the centre and serves as a vital space for local residents to cultivate a shared passion for sustainable gardening.
“Through the Community Kickstart Grant, the eco garden will undergo a significant revamp to enhance accessibility, promote sustainable practices and improve overall facilities.
“This initiative will create a more inclusive, engaging and resourceful space, thereby strengthening the community spirit and resilience in Kincumber.
“By directly benefiting 100 participants and indirectly impacting around 600 community members, the project will foster a connected, healthy, and sustainable community.”
Kincumber Village Centre Manager Laura Fehlberg thanked all groups which applied for the grant.
“There are so many fantastic and worthy local organisations within our community and Kincumber Village is very proud to provide grant opportunities to assist these groups to continue their wonderful and vital work”, she said.
“We believe that the Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre will utilise this grant to develop meaningful change, whilst assisting in delivering more projects and initiatives locally thereby making Kincumber an even better place to live.
“Kincumber Village recognises the hard work, care and time that goes on behind the scenes of community groups and organisations to keep our community united, so we are very pleased to be able to offer these grants.”
Each application was assessed against criteria including: commitment and investment into the local community; demonstration of innovation and solutions that benefit the local community, and the cultivation of a shared future.
