THE Beaumaris Life Saving Club and the Beaumaris Sea Scouts are two of 22 successful applicants for the latest round of South East Water’s community grants.
South East Water announced the 22 grant recipients last week. The successful nominees will share $140,000.
The Sea Scouts will use its grant money to buy kayaks and snorkelling equipment to expand its water programs. The Life Saving Club will use its money to support the hosting of monthly pop-up food markets.
South East Water managing director Lara Olsen said the grant recipients make “valuable contributions towards supporting a thriving, more liveable community.” “We’re excited to support a broad range of projects to help make communities better places to live, including essential food relief, accessible programs for people living with a disability, and health and wellbeing support for refugee communities,” she said. “We especially want to recognise the hard work of the many volunteers behind these important community projects. We look forward to the broad range of benefits they’ll deliver for customers, community and the environment.”
Other grant recipients included the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation, Holy Trinity Anglican Kindergarten Hampton, and Mums Supporting Families in Need. For the full list of grant recipients visit southeastwater.com.au/about-us/community/grants
