7th Anniversary of Deb’s Local Hero Grants

11th September 2023

The announcement of the successful recipients for Round 20 of Deb Frecklington’s Local Hero Grants celebrates the 7th anniversary of the popular local grants program.

Deb said she started her Local Hero Grants in August 2016, and over the past seven years, $20,000 has been invested back into the community.

“These are great small grants which have so far helped more than 80 local community groups and individuals across the Nanango Electorate to achieve projects and attend representative events,” Deb said.

The winners of the August 2023 round are:

  • Kingaroy Sports Club
  • Creative Country Assoc (55 Million Years Ago Museum)
  • Coolabunia SS P&C Assoc
  • Kilkivan State School Cattle Team

“I would like to congratulate the successful groups and encourage other interested organisations to apply in the next round of funding which closes on 30 November.

“The Local Hero Grants are up to $250 and are designed to provide small donations to not-for-profit community groups and individuals from across the Nanango Electorate.

“If you would like to apply, please go to www.debfrecklington.com.au or contact the Nanango Electorate office on 4190 7100 for the guidelines.
