Local community groups across Greenslopes are set to benefit from a funding boost, with Parkside Community & Services Club announcing the successful recipients of the inaugural round of its Community Grants Program, awarding a total of $6,700 to five grassroots organisations.
The grants form part of Parkside’s broader commitment to reinvesting locally, with up to $10,000 made available to support projects, programs and services that strengthen community connections and deliver tangible social benefits.
On behalf of Coorparoo & Districts RSL Sub Branch, Parkside Community & Services Club confirmed the following organisations as recipients of funding support:
- Holland Park Girl Guides, receiving funding to replace camping equipment damaged by water, ensuring outdoor programs can continue safely for local girls
- Incapacitated Service Men and Women’s Association, supporting advocacy and welfare services for veterans
- St Andrews Ladies Hockey Club, assisting the club to continue providing inclusive sporting opportunities
- Stones Corner Community Kindergarten, funding the creation of a frog pond and native food garden to enhance environmental learning
- The Other Greenbagz, helping purchase wide-width fabric so volunteers can continue making quilts for people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability
Parkside Community & Services Club Chief Executive Officer Chris Sartori said the grants reflect the club’s vision of being more than just a venue.
“These grants are about backing the people and volunteers who quietly strengthen our community every day,” Mr Sartori said. “When you support grassroots organisations, the impact ripples far beyond the initial funding.”
All applications were assessed by Parkside’s Independent Board of Directors, with priority given to initiatives demonstrating strong community benefit and long-term impact.
The grant announcement follows the recent opening of Parkside Community & Services Club at 131 Ridge Street, Greenslopes, which features a family-friendly bistro, barefoot bowling green and modern hospitality spaces designed to bring locals together.
