19.01.2022 Warrah is delighted to receive a grant of $25,000 under the NSW Government's 2020 Community Building Partnership (CBP) program, from Dominic Perrottet MP. The grant will be put towards the cost of replacing the outdated kitchen in one of Warrah's supported independent living homes in Cherrybrook (Greenway). Dominic visited Greenway last week to see first hand how much a new kitchen will benefit both the residents and the staff. Pictured: Greenway resident, Andrew with Dominic Perrottet MP.
