CLUBGRANTS SHOWCASE FOR 2020

KINGSGROVE RSL CLUB AWARDED $130,666 IN COMMUNITY FUNDING TO LOCAL ORGANISATIONS THROUGH THE CLUBGRANTS SCHEME THIS YEAR. EACH RECIPIENT RECEIVED FUNDS FROM $50 UP TO $10,000 TO PUT TOWARD PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS, LOCAL ISSUES, AND TO ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND GROW SOCIAL CONNECTIONS. “The ClubGRANTS program is an exceptional opportunity for our Club to work with local community organisations to improve our community life and offer necessary services to the residents of Kingsgrove and our local government areas said Kingsgrove RSL Club CEO Mr Ian Todd.

Mr Todd officially announced the list of 41 recipients who would receive funding from the Club on 29th August 2020 via email, without its usual presentation ceremony due to Covid-19 restrictions. Showcased below are details of how two of the recipients used their funding to improve our community wellbeing and achieve social change. St George Children with Disabilities Fund Inc received $8,000 in funding from the Club for their Music Therapy program; a life enhancing provision for children with severe disabilities.

The Music Therapy program does not receive any government funding, and the cost of private music therapy for these children is beyond the means of most of the families who need it. The program is delivered by a professional musician with experience and expertise in working with students with severe and multiple disabilities. How does Music Therapy help? • At the St George School where the students have significant learning needs due to physical and multiple disabilities, Music Therapy gives them the ability to learn and communicate through music and musical instruments. • At the Bates Drive School, it is helping to build relationships as well as students’ creative expression; it increases their focus and releases stress as well as unlocking their hidden potential and capabilities. • At the Cainsfoot School it has significantly benefitted both teachers and students. Teachers are now incorporating music into their daily routine to support students to further engage in learning, as students’ level of engagement in group and social activities has increased due to the program. • At the St George Hospital School, it is helping the

students to re-engage and re-connect. It provides learning, enjoyment and distraction to children who are at their most vulnerable.

With measurable educational and social benefits for students, as well as bringing the sheer pleasure and enjoyment of music to their lives. The program has become centric to all families with children who participate, they have benefited in their day to day life from the children’s opportunity to learn and communicate through music.

“Thanks to member support and patronage at the Club, we have been able to donate to this great not for profit organisation in their fundraising efforts to reach $90,000 annually, funding the Music Therapy program in all four of the schools, supported by the St George Children with Disabilities Fund.” said Mr Ian Todd

Mr Garry Morris OAM and trustee of the St George Children with Disabilities Fund Inc said “We are grateful to Kingsgrove RSL Club for their support, which helped fund the Music Therapy program for 2020, it has not only benefited the children’s learning, the program has also given the students the opportunity to shine and enjoy life.” Year 10 Commerce students from St Ursula’s College Kingsgrove received $500 in funding from the Club for their “Running a Business” program. The program required the students to create their own catering business aimed to raise money to support the work of the Ursuline Sisters in Cambodia.

In order to raise money and make a profit, the students volunteered their time out of school hours to prepare for their catering business “The Greek Eatery”. The students worked to negotiate for supplies and donations from organisations such as Kingsgrove RSL Club, to purchase all the items necessary to run their business.

With the $500 Kingsgrove RSL Club kindly donated, “The Greek Eatery” purchased fresh vegetables for their Greek salad and tzatziki, as well as packaging and cutlery. Catering to the 170+ students and teachers, who bought pre-packed meals through the “The Greek Eatery” stall, following St Ursula’s yearly 6km Walkathon.

“The Greek Eatery” students were able to make over $1200 in profits to send to the Ursuline Sisters in Cambodia. Selling delicious chicken/ lamb souvlaki meals and collecting all money left over from the donations.

Miss Lucia Bickerton, year10 Commerce student, St Ursula’s College, Kingsgrove and founder of The Greek Eatery said that “without the generous support of Kingsgrove RSL Club, “The Greek Eatery” would not have been nearly as successful. All the profits from our business venture and fundraising efforts are going to the Ursuline Sisters in Cambodia, in their support of the Mother of Peace Primary School, a school dedicated to offering the children of Chrab Viel better opportunities for their future. We are extremely thankful for Kingsgrove RSL Club’s contribution, and truly appreciate the Club’s generosity. Once again, thank you ALL!”

“The ClubGRANTS program, underpinned by our Club’s member patronage, has been able to empower local students to not just engage in their education, but to also support community well-being and participate in global social change at a truly grassroots level. We are so happy to see that a small amount of money can be stretched in innovative ways to positively impact so many in our local and global communities." said Mr Ian Todd.
