Badger Creek Community Planning Day |
Following on from Badger Creek Community Group's 2018-2021 community plan, this project seeks to engage with the Badger Creek community to find out what current community members value about living in the area and what initiatives they would like to see happening in our area. We envisage using the feedback to develop another Community Plan to guide our activities and advocacy over the next 3 years. |

| Upwey Toy Library Inc |
Upwey Toy Library Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser 2023 |
Like most volunteer-run community organisations, Upwey Toy Library has beed significantly impacted by the flow on effect of COVID19, causing a dramatic reduction in membership, our main source of income. We were successful in securing a spot in the popular and highly demanded Bunnings Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Scoresby on Saturday 26th August 2023. With a predicted income of $800-900, this will certainly consolidate the UTL bank balance until our memberships have returned to a sustainable level Unfortunately, we can not afford the expenses associated with running the BBQ, that we are required to provide to hold the event. For this reason we are applying to the Yarra Ranges SmallGrant dedicated to fundraising events, in order to cover the costs incurred by the sausage sizzle and give the UTL a life line. |
