“There is a plethora of organisations and charities throughout Campbelltown that do the best they can with limited resources and funding,” Mr Warren said.
“The Community Building Partnership program helps gives those organisations and charities a bit of a financial leg up, which in turn benefits our community too.
“I can’t wait to visit all the recipients next year to see all the completed projects.
“There is no doubt the money from the 2020 Community Building Partnership will be put to good use in Campbelltown.
