Water grants supporting community | Berwick Star News

The Casey North Community Information and Support Service (CNCISS) is one of the 16 South East organisations receiving financial support via South East Water’s annual Community Grants Program.

The grant will support CNCISS’ financial literacy program to support community members in managing their finances.

Other recipients include RSPCA Victoria (Pearcedale) for a 5000-litre rainwater tanks to manage stormwater at its Pearcedale animal shelter and Launch Housing (Dandenong) for an edible and medicinal garden at Viv’s Place, an apartment building for at-risk women.

South East Water customer experience general manager Lara Salembier said the grants will help the recipients make valuable contributions towards supporting a thriving and more liveable community.

“We’re proud to support 16 community groups with a range of projects that support our community and protect our environment,” she said.

“A key area of focus for our grants program is affordability, and this year we’re excited to fund several local projects that support community members with the rising cost of living, from food relief to financial literacy.

“We look forward to seeing the benefits these 16 projects will deliver for our customers, community and environment.”
