“I am delighted to announce that grants have been approved for a variety of projects across the electorate ranging from $3,000 for the Harrington Men’s Shed to $15,000 for the Lions Club of Tacking Point.
“My office has contacted all of the successful applicants so it was wonderful news for them to start the new year.
“Congratulates to all of the organisations and I wish them well with the projects they are delivering for their members and the wider community and I look forward to seeing them progress to completion,” Mrs Williams said.
