Quotes attributable to the Jo Haylen MP, Member for Summer Hill
“This funding is a silver lining to a difficult year for some of the invaluable local groups and organisations working to support our community.
“These are hardworking P&C’s, community and childcare centres, as well as sporting clubs and arts organisations.
“I am so grateful to all the local residents who participated in my community survey and to all the organisations that applied for this year’s grant round.
‘’This grassroots funding will directly benefit our community, delivering new infrastructure and paying for much-needed improvements, right when they need it most.”
