Grants to support a healthy and active shire

Not-for-profit community groups that are working hard to improve the health and wellbeing of local people are invited to apply for a Eurobodalla Shire Council Healthy Communities and Seniors Week Grant.

Applications for 2013 are now open to groups with plans to run activities that are all about fostering a sense of community. Grants of up to $500 are available.

To apply, just fill in the Healthy Communities and Seniors Week Grants application form on council's website, www.esc.nsw.gov.au with details about your activity and information that demonstrates that you are either an incorporated or legitimate Eurobodalla-based community group.
