They are six of the best: Campbelltown Cyber Seekers, Eternity Aid, Foster Care Angels, Top Blokes Foundation, White Lion Youth Agency and Camden High.
These wonderful community organisations will be able to continue doing their good works thanks in part to generous funding from local clubs as part of Club Grants.
Wests Group Macarthur gave nearly $25,000 to the community groups for this round of Club Grants.
It will enable Cyber Seekers to upgrade their computer systems and virus programs, to protect their current resources and allow them to continue to help seniors learn digital skills.
Eternity Aid will be utilising the funding to train additional staff for their amazing life skills mentoring program within the Reiby Juvenile Justice Centre, focusing on literacy and numeracy.
Foster Care Angels will use their grant for the purchase, training and upkeep of a therapy dog.
Top Blokes Foundation will direct funds to their program at local schools to reduce anti-social behaviour and offer positive role models that can change boys attitudes and behaviours in a dramatic way.
White Lion’s RISE program offering learning support to young people in the Claymore area will benefit from new technology to assist students in Technology, Science, Engineering and Mathematics.
Camden High will direct this money into technology resources for their students with special educational needs.
Tony Mathew, CEO Wests Group Macarthur, who presented the grants last week, said:

Club Grants is a state wide initiative that recognises the contributions of local Clubs within their local communities and the financial support that clubs offer for the funding of community led projects.
Local projects are able to apply annually for funding from clubs within the Campbelltown area and the scheme is overseen by both Campbelltown Council and Sector Connect.
Club Grants committee members Wests League Club, Campbelltown RSL Club, Campbelltown Catholic Club and Ingleburn RSL Club all attended the grants presentation.
