Asset Improvements Momentum Collective secured $325K via Land and Housing Corporation for upgrades to 15 of our older properties across Lismore, Tweed Heads and Mullumbimby. The Connections Centre also received $108K towards upgrades to increase community participation and engagement. The upgrades included: roof restoration, interior and exterior painting, new flooring, a greenhouse and an all-access bathroom and laundry. As part of the Stronger Country Communities Fund , Momentum Collective was awarded $250K in funding for the Oak Centre’s Accessibility Project to upgrade the community centre. The upgrades will include an outdoor amenity space, a yarning circle, vegetable gardens and trestle tables for group work. We were also fortunate to win a small grant of $16K to develop a new ‘Meeting Place’ at the Casino Neighbourhood Centre. The Meeting Place will be used as a group work space, a play area and a place to sit and chat. Our Community Garden in Casino also received a small grant of $4K from the Richmond Valley Council. It will be allocated towards building raised garden beds, new outdoor furniture and an improved pathway.
New Disability Centre in Grafton Our new Grafton Disability Centre opened its doors in February 2022, marking a new era for the Clarence Valley region. More than 50 guests (including families, clients, local MP Chris Gulaptis and Councillors: Karen Toms, Allison Whaites, Peter Johnstone and Jeff Smith) took the opportunity to tour our spacious new centre and meet our fantastic team of Community Support Workers. The open day brought the local community together to experience the facility first-hand and learn about our Momentum Collective services. Activities included Loving Life onsite radio broadcasting, face painting, gelato and live music. Momentum Collective services in Grafton now include Centre-Based Activities, In-home and Community Support and Short Term Accommodation.
