WYNDHAM: MPs visit local venues
Werribee MLA John Lister (pictured) has told State Parliament about the dedicated volunteers at Wyndham Park Community Centre, “who have seen the positive impact of the tens of thousands of dollars from the Allan Labor Government for their programs.
“This funding has enabled the delivery of vital services to those in need in our community, including community lunches in partnership with the Wyndham Women’s Support Group, the purchase of additional produce for local food pantries and the expansion of the community garden to grow a wider variety of fresh, healthy and culturally appropriate food,” Mr Lister said.
“Minister Spence and I had the privilege of meeting staff and volunteers to tour the facilities and witness firsthand the incredible work being done to support some of our most vulnerable community members in Werribee.
“We also visited Eagle Stadium, where we met with Phil Morley, President of the Wyndham Victory Netball Club and local netball association, who proudly acknowledged the news of their successful sports grant application.
“This grant is allowing the club to purchase new netballs for the competition and, importantly, donate older equipment to families who might otherwise go without, ensuring every child can practice at home and stay active.
“Phil also introduced us to Sandy, a remarkable South Sudanese community leader who has made a huge impact by encouraging local participation in the
sport, particularly amongst women from that community.
“Wyndham Victory exemplifies how much
sport can bring people together. It is about community just as much as competition,” Mr Lister said.
