Arana Hills Uniting Church received a $12,697.30 boost after successfully securing community grant funding from Morton Bay Regional Council.
The contribution from Morton Bay Regional Council was used to refurbish the kitchen in the hall. This is needed after 30 years of use by many groups, some from the church and some from the community.
M.B.R.C. Mayor Allan Sutherland said a number of local organisations have been successful in the latest round of community grants funding.
“Council’s community grants support local community, youth, senior citizen, sporting and cultural events and activities,” Mayor Sutherland said.
“Funding is available for initiatives that respond to community issues, enhance well-being and safety and encourage participation and partnerships. They're a great way for Council to support the community organisations, activities, events and initiatives that matter to our residents.”
Carolyn Drummond from the Arana Hills Uniting Church thanked Morton Bay Regional Council for their support.
“The upgrading kitchen has been a useful part of our outreach to those in need of a pleasant hall for group activities,” said Carolyn. “The Mens Shed meetings, Play Group, youth activities and some happy celebrations for families with milestone birthdays and anniversaries are just some of the many activities hosted in this hall.”
Mayor Sutherland said local groups should be commended for their outstanding work in the community.
“I would like to thank each group for taking the time to make a funding application to the Morton Bay Regional Council Community Grants Program,” the Mayor said.
