FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITS $53,000 TO TWEED VOLUNTEERS

A local volunteer centre will receive $53,000 in funding this financial year after the Federal Coalition Government announced an expansion of the Volunteer Management Programme (VMP), NSW Nationals Senator Fiona Nash said today. Senator Nash said Minister for Community Services, Senator Nigel Scullion, recently announced that 50 Volunteer Resource Centres (VRCs) across Australia, including TTEC Enterprises Ltd, will share in a Federal Government funding boost. “TTEC Enterprises, which co-ordinate TTEC volunteering, will receive $53,083 to provide a range of training options and advice for volunteer organisations and volunteers in the local area,” Senator Nash said. “This is a massive boost to our volunteers who donate their time to strengthen our community. “Changes to the VMP allow TTEC Enterprises to increase training programs and support to not-for-profit organisations in rural and regional locations. “This funding will allow organisations to concentrate on meeting the needs of the target population and provide more training options to volunteers and volunteer managers. “The Federal Coalition Government recognises the vital contribution of volunteers, and these improvements to the VMP further assist the people who donate so much of their time to serve the community.” Media contact: Julie Siegert 0429 818 600
