Late in 2023, MYST was awarded a Strengthening Rural Communities Grant through the Foundation of Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR). www.frrr.org.au
We received a grant of $20,000 which will fund a project in partnership with the RFS (Rural Fire Service) in the Blue Mountains for local young people paint murals on two water tanks.
The Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) is an organization in Australia that focuses on strengthening rural, regional, and remote communities across the country. One of the key ways they achieve this is through their grant programs, such as the Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) Grant.
The Strengthening Rural Communities Grant aims to support projects that make a positive difference in rural and regional communities. This could include initiatives related to community infrastructure, health and wellbeing, education and training, environmental sustainability, and more.
A fantastic project that will have good outcomes for local young people and the broader community.
Congratulations to MYST staff involved and the RFS in the Blue Mountains on receiving the grant, and best wishes for the successful implementation of this meaningful project!
