$31,500 awarded to 21 local community groups thanks to the Ashbury Community Fund\u00a0
\nAn annual initiative of the Dennis Family Corporation, the developer of the Ashbury estate, this year marks the sixth year the Ashbury Community Fund has been running, with over $140,000 distributed to local community groups since its inception in 2018.\u00a0
\n\u201cOver the past 6 years, we’ve allocated funding to assist a wide range of special activities and community programs\u00a0in and around Armstrong Creek. It\u2019s been fantastic for us to be able to provide financial support for so many worthy organisations in and around the local area where our\u00a0development is located, and help bring so many great projects to light.”\u00a0Dennis Family Corporation’s Marketing Manager, Melissa Munro\u00a0said.
\n2023 also marks the 21st year of the Dennis Family Corporation successfully operating Community Funds across its residential developments in Victoria and South East Queensland. During this time, it has distributed more than $1 million in grants and provided much needed financial support to hundreds of local not-for-profit groups and organistions.\u00a0
\nOne of this year’s successful grant recipient at Ashbury was Type 1 Foundation’s founder, Ange Liston-McCaughley, who was thrilled to receive a $1,500 grant on behalf of the organisation. “As anyone with Type 1 diabetes knows, receiving an initial diagnosis of the condition is often confronting and the challenges of learning how to live with it can impact the entire family – especially where children are concerned. We established the Foundation specifically to assist families of children living with Type 1 diabetes and help them not just to survive, but thrive.” Ange adds. “We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to do this. The grant will go towards our upcoming networking event connecting families of newly diagnosed children\u00a0 with one another for afivce and emotion support, and we can’t thank Dennis Family Corporation enough for helping us make this a reality.”<\/p>\n
