Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said he is extremely pleased a NSW Government grant of $42,482 will boost the important work of Cancer Council NSW on the Coffs Coast.
Mr Singh said the funding has been allocated under the Community Building Partnership 2021 program for the project – Cancer support and transport vehicle for patients in Coffs Harbour.
Mr Singh said he applauds the dedication of the Cancer Council NSW team on the Coffs Coast and their continuing outreach, support and education across our community.
“I know these NSW Government funds will be welcomed by all who are involved locally with the work of Cancer Council NSW,” Mr Singh said.
“The funds are for the purchase of a vehicle enabling Cancer Council NSW volunteers to transport cancer patients from their homes to cancer treatment in Coffs Harbour.
“This is fantastic news – the funds will be of tremendous benefit for the many people who rely on the Cancer Council in this community.
“It’s grassroots funding like this which directly helps to create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive outcomes.
“I congratulate Cancer Council NSW on their successful application and wish them well in the delivery of this important project.”
The Community Building Partnership Program has funded more than 16,000 community projects since it commenced in 2009.
Applications for the 2022 Program open in early 2022.
