LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin has congratulated nine local sporting organisations on sharing a total of $49,554 under the NSW Government’s Local Sport Grant Program 2021-22.
Ms Saffin said she had written to local sporting clubs this week, confirming their success under the NSW Office of Sport-administered small grants program, one which is always heavily subscribed.
“I wish all these clubs the best of success with implementing their respective projects that will benefit their members and strengthen community spirit as we recover from the floods of February and March,” Ms Saffin said.
“My advice to those clubs who missed out this year is to reapply next year or keep looking for funding opportunities because all good projects eventually find their time to shine.”
