The Bathurst Neighbourhood Centre is a well-known and respected organisation that has been serving the local region for nearly five decades.
Member for Bathurst Paul Toole knows more than anyone the organisation’s importance to the wider Bathurst community and is pleased to be able to announce it will receive funding of $5000 from the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership (CBP) fund.
He said the support will allow The Neighbourhood Centre to purchase a smartboard for its meeting room which is used for a variety of different purposes, not only its members but also by local groups and members of the community.
“The aim of The Neighbourhood Centre is to inform and educate members of the community by enabling them to connect people, resources and ideas to support individuals and strengthen their communities,” Mr Toole said.
“A new smartboard will really help user groups who use the meeting rooms for their gatherings and help bring the Centre’s resources into the digital era.”
The Neighbourhood Centre has meeting room hire options including its reception/welcome area (maximum 20 people), community room (maximum 20 people), meeting room (maximum 14 people) and interview room ( maximum two people).
The Community Building Partnership is a NSW Government initiative which awards grants for community infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes.
The Neighbourhood Centre provides services and supports to disadvantaged members of the community. Programs are provided with the support of volunteers and include: Learner Driver program, school holiday workshops, Homework Club, Adult Literacy, English Tuition, free legal advice clinic, DeCaf for seniors with memory loss and their carers, meeting room spaces and information and referral.
