The Westbook Community Fund has recently awarded $35,000 in grants to local community and not-for-profit groups from Truganina, Tarneit and Williams Landing.
An annual initiative of Dennis Family Corporation, the developer of Westbrook estate, this year marks the sixth year the Westbrook Community Fund has been running, with approximately $150,000 distributed to local community groups since its inception in 2018.
Numbering amongst this year’s successful applicants was Women’s Multicultural Empowerment Network.
The organisation’s President and Chairperson, Venkat ram Reddy Upparlapalle was thrilled to receive a $1,500 grant on behalf of the organisation, which will be put towards securing the venue for their upcoming Women’s Day event.
“The upcoming Women’s Day event, organised by WMEN, is a celebration of women’s achievements and empowerment,” Mr Upparlapalle said.
“It serves as a platform to raise awareness about gender equality, celebrate diversity, and inspire the community.
The Westbrook Community Fund grant for the Women’s Day event will be used to cover part of the venue expenses for our large-scale event, which is expected to host up to 1000 people.
The support of The Dennis Family Corporation is greatly appreciated in making this celebration of women’s achievements a reality.”
