Hardworking community organisations in the Toowoomba North Electorate are set for a funding boost as they receive their share of funding in the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund grant program.

These grants are a financial injection many groups cannot afford to miss out on and allows the many dedicated volunteers to focus on continuing their good work by providing better facilities and equipment.

You can’t put a price on what these grants mean for the people involved, the communities they serve and the difference it will make to the lives of everyday people.
