ACHIEVEMENTS Page Top >
Thank you to everyone involved in Murray Human Services Inc. receiving the following funding:
   

Kyabram Day Services received a grant of $22, 438 from Community Inclusion for the Disabled in Victoria (ANZ Trustees) for an outdoor room at the Albion St. site.  Building has not yet begun, but with the large increase in client numbers recently this increase in available space for programs is much needed and will be greatly appreciated by all clients, staff and volunteers.

     
   

Swan Hill’s Multi Sensory Room is now complete and will serve as a valuable community resource for the Swan Hill district.  The room was officially opened on 27th August at a function at the Harrod Lane site.  Community members and supporters of the multi sensory room project were treated to lunch and tours of the sensory room.  Major contributors include:

   
    RE Ross Trust with a grant of
    $14, 487
    RACV Community Foundation with a grant of
    $10, 000
   
    Swan Hill Rotary Club
Swan Hill Community for the AGED
   
    Murray Downs Golf and Country Club
    Peter and Carmel Gathercole
   
    Arthur and Sue Graham
    Des Devereaux
     
   

Kanyana Auxiliary made a donation of $7, 000 for the purchase of:

  • An outdoor setting and shade sail to improve the outdoor area for Burke House residents
  • A Unibind binder to enable people with disabilities to complete binding tasks for employment, program and personal purposes
  • A recliner chair for Percy St. to improve comfort for clients attending Links.
Part of the cost of laying new flooring at Burke House
     
    The Roy Ogden Foundation donated $5000 for the installation of a shade sail and computers at Percy St.  The shade sail allows for Links clients, staff and volunteers to make much more effective use of the outside space at Percy St.  And the computers are used by clients and trainees for research, training and emailing.
     
   

The Rotary Club of Echuca donated $5, 000 toward the purchase of a new lounge suite for Burke House, making the house a more comfortable home for all the residents.

     
    Echuca Moama Community Enterprise made 2 donations to Echuca Day Services.  One of $515 was used to tint the hydrotherapy pool windows at High St.  This has increased privacy and comfort for all pool users.  And another grant of $2,500 to lay new, cleaner, more user friendly flooring at Burke House
     
   

The Kyabram Club and M&S Accounting donated $1,000 each for the purchase of new chairs at Albion St.  The chairs are very user friendly and accessible for people with disabilities, and used on a daily basis by clients attending Kyabram Day Services.

     
   

Kyabram clients, staff and volunteers are working hard to raise money for a new bus for Kyabram Day Services, running monthly BBQs at Fishers IGA, crushing and selling cans and selling soft drinks.
