$5436 for Southern Downs Ex-Services Association to support veterans

May 25, 2020

Members of the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association will benefit from construction of a fire exit safety door, secured with a $5436 investment through Batch Three of the 2019/20 Veteran and Community Grants program, Maranoa MP David Littleproud said today.

“The Southern Downs Ex-Services Association is a worthy recipient of this Federal Government funding program and will use these funds to ensure a safer environment for its members,” Mr Littleproud said.

“Local community groups like the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association play an important role in understanding the challenges in their community.

“The great thing about the Veteran and Community Grants program is that funds are driven down into local groups who know best what kind of works or programs they need to support veterans and their families to remain independent, healthy and active within their communities.

“I have full confidence that the Southern Downs Ex-Services Association will continue to put their members first, and construction of a fire exit safety door reflects this.”

More than $480,000 in grants were awarded through Batch Three of the 2019/2020 Veteran and Community Grants program.
