Previous Recipients

West Vic Academy of Sport

Using the Ballarat Connected Communities Grant, West Vic Academy of Sport developed their Athletic Education Program. The program provided athletes, parents, families and coaches with the opportunity to learn from experts about strength and conditioning, leadership development, sports psychology, parenting for performance, mindfulness, peak performance, injury management and prevention in addition to diet and nutrition.

Child and Family Services, Ballarat

CAFS (Child and Family Services, Ballarat) were very grateful for the funds received from the Ballarat Connected Communities grant program to support their Thread Together Clothing Hub. To continue to provide this resource across our region, additional funding is required to underwrite the ongoing, operational costs associated (approximately $200,000 annually) with the service delivery. The grant enabled CAFS to cover some of the overheads of our Thread Together Clothing Hub for another 12 months so that they can continue to support vulnerable members of our community.
