We've announced funding of $50,000 to allow this registered charity to adopt more modern and innovative technologies into its operations.
Lifeline Central West's footprint covers about half of NSW, including rural and remote areas in western NSW.
With rising demand in providing community support, being able to incorporate the latest technology into the way they work will help improve productivity, save time and maintain a high work standard.
This translates to improved efficiencies in the delivery of service for Lifeline Central West, which again helps the way they relieve stress and suffering in the community.
Lifeline Central West offers a 24/7 telephone crisis support service, face-to-face Gamble Aware counselling and community-based training.
To access Lifeline support services, call 13 11 14.
Festival grants program
AN important reminder that the 2022 NSW Seniors' Festival Grants Program is now open.
It provides seed funding to organisations and councils to run local festival programs and activities that provide opportunities for people over 60 to remain active, healthy, engaged and contributing to their communities.
The grants program is a key element of the NSW Seniors' Festival, which will take place from March 25 to April 3, 2022.
The NSW Government has allocated $200,000 for the program in 2022, which is provided under three categories:
- Category 1 grants provide funding of up to $1000 for small-scale local community events or activities targeted at community organisations;
- Category 2 grants range from $1001 to $5000 for local community activities targeted at larger community organisations and groups;
- Category 3 grants range from $5001 to $10,000 for large-scale community activities run by local councils in partnership with organisations and groups.
