Kincumber Junior Rugby League Club has received funding from the Albanese Labor Government’s Volunteer Grants.
The club will receive $5000 to purchase new iPads for its canteen staff and to organise first aid training for club volunteers.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, visited Mary Mackillop Oval in Kincumber to announce the funding and congratulate the football club.
“Kincumber Junior Rugby League Club is one of the largest junior league clubs on the Central Coast”, Dr Reid said.
“This financial support from the Federal Government will help the club in its daily operations and assist with its continued growth”.
“Safety is a very important priority of any sporting club, and I am pleased that around 40-50 volunteers will train in how to provide first aid in an emergency”, Dr Reid said.
“Canteen volunteers will improve point-of-sale transactions with the assistance of iPad technology, making transactions quicker, easier, and faster”.
Matthew McClean, Club Committee Member, thanked Dr Reid for his support of the club.
“There are over 560 players in the club this year, this funding will help our volunteers during weekly training and during weekend games”, Mr McClean said.
“Kincumber Colts have progressively grown, even during COVID-19, and the club is always welcoming of any new players”.
“This season, we have 13 teams through to the finals out of a total of 36 teams”, Mr McLean said.
“We are also celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2023, so this is a big year for our club”.
