It’s time to shine the light on another 2022 Westbrook Community Fund grant recipient.
Part of Australia’s National Community Hubs Program, the Doherty’s Creek Community Hub was established in 2019 and is a place where local families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds can come to connect with other mums, families and with local services and support.
2022 has been an interesting year! For some it has been an extremely challenging year and for others it has been a year of helping others and being there for those that need a hand. This Christmas, Westbrook would like to recognise those that have had challenges and those that have spread kindness, compassion, and friendship to others.
Therefore, do you know someone at Westbrook that deserves an extra special gift this Christmas?
