2022 Recipients
On the 22nd July 2022, the first Annual Grants Ceremony since 2019 was held in person at the Holiday Inn. During this time, we were able to celebrate and award 49 Grant recipients for their future contribution to their community. Recipients were from not-for-profit, community, recreation and sporting groups, clubs, organisations, social enterprises and in some cases, individual arts working on novels and films. A huge congratulations to all our grant recipients, we look forward to seeing the fruits of these projects come to life over the next 12 months.
