How grants can help
The Bayside Toy Library received a $7,500 grant to establish Stay and Play sessions for parents of second and subsequent children. Toy Library Manager, Sally Hunter said the grant helped provide, “an excellent way to bring Bayside families together in a space where play is encouraged and parents can relax while their children are occupied.” To find out more visit: Toy Library.
The 2023 Australia Day Award winning Nourish Program, which offers coffee, cake and social connection to Bayside members, is another former grant recipient.
