“We are proud to support organisations that are helping to build a more inclusive, resilient and caring Tweed.”<\/p>\n
One of last year’s recipients, Murwillumbah Football Club, received $4,270 to assist with restoring its canteen after it was significantly damaged in the 2022 floods.<\/p>\n
The funding supported the purchase of essential electrical appliances and contributed to repair and rebuilding work.<\/p>\n
Murwillumbah Football Club president Jessica Lee said the grant had made a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n
“Having the canteen back open at the club has made a huge impact, not only financially but also just for the community itself,” Lee said.<\/p>\n
“Our parents are involved.<\/p>\n
“Our kids are involved.<\/p>\n
“We’re fed, we’re happy.<\/p>\n
“And it just creates a really happy environment.”<\/p>\n
The council has encouraged organisations interested in applying to attend free drop-in support sessions, where they can ask questions and receive guidance on their applications.<\/p>\n
Applications close on 30 June.<\/p>\n
