The successful recipients are:

Mr Page said these projects gave seniors an opportunity to have some fun, explore new activities and record their reflections during the busy Seniors Week.

“Senior members of our community make a valuable contribution to the area,” Mr Page said.

“Seniors Week can only be a success with the support and participation of local organisations.

“I congratulate each of the grant recipients for their participation through vibrant and innovative projects.”
