These organisations are always very excited about the amounts being granted to them b& and the Health Foundation is delighted this year to exceed both our 2014 and 2015 distribution totals.

These grants enable our local not-for-profit organisations further enhance their health and wellbeing initiatives and programs, thereby investing back in the local community. The funds also lighten the fundraising burden faced by organisations already struggling to cover rising costs in an atmosphere of reduced government funding.

Health Foundation Chairman, Andrew (Buck) Buchanan said bWe are absolutely delighted with this outcome and hope it will increase the capacity of our community to work together towards shared goals.B Of course, none of this would have been possible without the generosity of our major sponsors, Apollo Bay Bakery, the Apollo Bay Chamber of Commerce and the Apollo Bay Hotel, as well as the support of Otway Health,B Community Care Chemist, Ocean Spray and Grant Day James.b

The Health Foundation is looking forward to working with you again at next yearbs Marathon for the benefit of our local communities along the Great Ocean Road.

$80,000 to our Community

At the Health Foundation AGM onB Sunday 8th November over $80,000 was distributed to ten community groups.

B His often amusing tales enlightened and entertained us all. B We and other community leaders are committed to adopting this approach and “watch this space” for more information and actions in the next few months.

Listen to the recording of this talk.

A huge thank you to all of you who so generously support the Health foundation, and this, our 15 year has been a ripper. Andrew Buchanan b Chair ABDHF]]>
