Seven Hills RSL has always believed in supporting the community that supports us.
We are pleased to say that this year our contributions, donations and sponsorships remain as important to us as they always have been. With over $2,480,000 worth of grants donated in the past 10 years, our funding has played a vital role in backing valuable projects for the neighbourhood. We are proud to give back to the community that we belong to.
The Seven Hills Group has a strong commitment to the community under the ClubGRANTS scheme formerly the Community Development Support Expenditure Scheme. This is a funding process by which the club industry supports an extensive range of community groups.
The ClubGRANTS Scheme operates through local area committees to ensure that available funding is used to its maximum benefit.
As an active member of the Blacktown City Council ClubGRANTS Committee the club always endeavours to extend financial and “In-Kind” support to locals in need. The Seven Hills Group also supports a range of community groups at its own discretion.
This work ranges across the spectrum, in areas which include special education, health, disability support, domestic violence, migrant resources, crime prevention and sport.
A full rundown on the ClubGRANTS process, including guidelines, application processes and downloadable forms can accessed through the ClubsNSW website at www.clubsnsw.com.au.
