“In our last funding round we supported 30 local, community-focused organisations including Port Hedland’s Youth Involvement Council, St John Ambulance Port Hedland, Care for Hedland Environmental Association, East Pilbara Softball Association, Marble Bar Community Resource Centre, Tom Price Amateur Swimming Club and the Tom Price Senior High School to name just a few of the recipients.”
