The NSW Government is helping support more than 120 local communities and organisations all over the state celebrate NAIDOC Week, with $348,000 in grant funding.
The Ashford Local Aboriginal Land Council was one of the recipients of the grant, receiving $2000 to provide a family friendly community NAIDOC event for the residents of Ashford and surrounds.
Activities the grant will support include a men’s golf day as well as a women’s art day.
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Treaty David Harris, says with events taking place across the state, there are opportunities to learn about and connect with the richness and vibrancy of Aboriginal cultures and proudly celebrate those cultures together.
