The mayor Georgina Oxley said “the need in the community has been greater than ever this year due to COVID-19 and our community grants program is all about supporting our local not-for-profit groups and organisations in delivering social welfare services, opportunities and activities for all residents in Kingston.”

“There are so many fantastic community groups doing great work across Kingston. Council is proud to be able to support their efforts.”
