LG Professionals WA is pleased to be partnering with the Department of Communities to deliver the 2024 - 2025 Age-Friendly Communities Connectivity Grants Program.
Join us for this complimentary webinar to find out more about the Grants Program.
The Department of Communities fosters the development of age-friendly communities, where people are respected, feel safe and have opportunities for social, cultural, and economic participation in community life as they age. Age-friendly communities aim to strengthen community support and increase inclusion to benefit the whole community.
At this webinar we will provide you with important information and invaluable insights into the guidelines of the grants program.
This webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and insight into age-friendly communities which will help you with developing your project and grant application.
Our speakers will share best practices and practical strategies to help you navigate the grant application process.
Join us as past grant recipients Adim Hajit Shire of Perenjori, Anna Jamieson City of Vincent, and Carol Stubbs Unnabra Aboriginal Corporation share their experiences with the grant application process, provide insights into their successfully funded projects, and discuss the positive impact these initiatives have had in their local communities.
