Bid for funding

FUNDING is available from Tablelands Regional Council’s community grants program. Deputy mayor Kevin Cardew said grants of up to $1000 were available for not-for-profit groups and organisations. He said in the previous year, $57,080 went to 15 events, $39,603 to 46 organisations, $2789 to five sporting events and $8250 for youth grants. “The funding isn’t just for cash, we also provide in-kind assistance including the use of our wheelie bins, tables, chairs and other event equipment, and the reimbursement of our fees like for food licenses and hall hire,” Cr Cardew said.
