Election promise to upgrade Charmhaven warehouse

An elected Dutton Liberal Government will provide over $90,000 to upgrade the facilities of The Bikers Hand – a Central Coast charity hub – which has helped dozens of local schools and charitable organisations since it was founded a decade ago. 

Liberal candidate for Dobell Brendan Small said the Charmhaven warehouse, home of The Bikers Hand charity, needed an upgrade and a Dutton Liberal Government would fund the necessary improvements. 

“The Bikers Hand plays an essential role as a charity hub on the Central Coast and I’m delighted that a Dutton Liberal Government has committed more than $90,000 to fund a fit-out of its warehouse in Charmhaven,” Small said.

“The warehouse is the focal point for The Bikers Hand’s activities, helping roll-out initiatives including breakfast programs, support for the homeless, and domestic and family violence victim assistance.

 “This commitment will fund additional pallet racking and shipping containers along with stainless-steel benches, all of which will enable The Bikers Hand to enhance their outreach capabilities.”

Shadow Minister for the NDIS and Shadow Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, Senator Hollie Hughes, said a Dutton Liberal Government was prepared to back local charities which supported the most vulnerable members of the community. 

“Part of getting Australia back on track is ensuring our most vulnerable have access to best local supports that are available,” Hughes said.

“It’s only thanks to the tireless advocacy of Brendan Small and the volunteers at The Bikers Hand that have made this commitment possible.”
