We’d like to sincerely thank Cr Donna Gates - Gold Coast for supporting Young Discoverers through a recent community grant initiative

Thanks to this funding, we were able to purchase a new commercial fridge for our Highland Reserve service - an important addition that supports the daily operations of our centre and helps us continue providing quality care for children and families

We are so appreciative of the practical support given to community organisations like ours. Partnerships and local support make a meaningful difference to the environments we create for children, educators and families each day

Thank you, Donna, for investing in local services and the families we serve! 🧡

We’re so grateful for the support of Naomi Fowler, Division 2, Gold Coast, and her encouragement to apply for local community grants that are making a real difference across Young Discoverers

Thanks to this funding, we have been able to purchase:
• A new commercial fridge for our Helensvale service
• Meeting room furniture for our Head Office, which has enabled us to create a more welcoming and functional space for staff, and families, to have professional conversations

We especially appreciate Naomi bringing these opportunities to our attention and encouraging community organisations like ours to apply. Support like this helps not-for-profit organisations continue investing in quality environments for children, families and educators.

Thank you, Naomi, for supporting local families and community services in such a practical way! 🧡

We were also pleased to have Councillor Naomi Fowler in attendance, who shared the honour of cutting the cake with Stephen.
