The members have already purchased a cordless jigsaw with the grant money allowing them to continue working on a variety projects with more ease.
Since its inception in 2017, the SHE Shed has been providing a unique opportunity for participation in a range of creative projects and social events, while in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Due to recent relocation to larger premises, they wish to purchase additional equipment to improve the range of activities and projects available to women and girls in the community.
Currently, the SHE Shed has 22 members, aged between 17 and 87 operating out of their new premises on Poseidon Road.
The Corowa She Shed plays an import role in improving women’s health and wellbeing by offering an inclusive and safe place for all women from the local community to come together, have a chat and participate in creating interesting projects.
Corowa RSL Club President Peter Norris said he was delighted to present Corowa SHE Shed with a grant of $2,000 to enable the purchase of additional equipment.
“These ClubGRANTS are just one of the many ways The Corowa RSL Club is able to provide support, services, and facilities for the betterment of our local community,” Mr Norris said.
She Shed Member Lesley Richardson thanked the Corowa RSL Club for their generous donation.
“We are very appreciative of the support provided by the RSL Club. This grant will enable us to continue creating interesting projects and in turn helping the wider community,” she said.
“We are grateful for the support our local community provides us. We recently moved to our new premises and we would also like to thank Rosemary and Don Evans of Blue Shed Self Storage for providing us with our new space.”
Each year through ClubGRANTS, clubs across NSW provide support to tens of thousands of local community organisations, sporting groups, and charities that make a difference in their local area. With more than $1 billion in funding provided since the program’s inception, ClubGRANTS is without doubt one of the largest and most effective grants programs in Australia. The program is made possible through the support of NSW clubs, local councils and the NSW Government.
