Member for Wannon, Dan Tehan MP is calling on community organisations across Wannon to apply for funding under the 2023-24 Volunteer Grants.

“The grants can be used towards the cost of essential items that help make the work of Wannon’s

volunteers easier, safer, and more enjoyable, such as equipment, training, transport and promotional

activities to increase awareness and participation in volunteering opportunities,” Mr Tehan said.

“Volunteers across Wannon play a vital role in the social fabric of our communities, and are essential to the

running of social, educational, sporting, cultural and environmental groups, and activities.

“Volunteers are the lifeblood of our community, and by continuing to help each other and work together,

we are building a stronger and safer Wannon”, said Mr Tehan.

Grants of between $1,000 and $5,000 are available to help community organisations to support the efforts

of our volunteers.

Expressions of interest close on Friday 15th September at 5:00 pm and interested groups should contact the office on 1300 131 692.
