Did your community group receive a grant this year? We recently announced our first round of community and event grants for the year.
 
Some of the projects include a literacy project for the Castlemaine Child Care Co-operative, new equipment for the Nuggetty Land Protection Group, a volunteering and mentoring initiative by Windarring, equipment to support MAINfm’s Able Radio and many more.
 
Event grants went to the Castlemaine Billy Cart Challenge, Run the Main, the Maldon Classic, Australia Blues Day, World Circus and Cabaret Festival and more.
 
See the full list of grant recipients, and look out for when the next round of grants open in July. 

Want to volunteer?

Volunteers are a vital part of our Social Support Program. In fact, many programs wouldn’t exist without them. 
 
We are so fortunate to have a committed and passionate community of volunteers who provide good times and friendship to our clients.
 
Our volunteers drive buses, cook lunches, deliver magazines, play scrabble, knit, sing, help with technology, swim and more. All of these activities enable our older residents to get out of the house and socialise, learn new skills and be part of our community.
 
If you’re interested in knowing more about the program or would like to get involved, call Fiona McInnes, Healthy Ageing Officer, on 5471 1807.
