A trained support dog to support student wellbeing is among one of four local health and wellbeing initiatives selected for funding through the Eden Collaborative Care Small Grants program, following community voting.
The four community-inspired projects will benefit children, youth and older people, with initiatives focused on water safety, strengthening wellbeing and social connection.
Collaborative Care Program Lead Justyn Walker said each applicant demonstrated partnership links with community organisations and voluntary contributions that added value to their project.
"The projects showcased a range of creative ideas, including youth-led social activities to build confidence and connection, water confidence activities for children and families, opportunities for older people to get active outdoors, and a trained support dog to support student wellbeing,” Justyn said.
