Carinya Court say thank you

Carinya Court in Boorowa have thanked Community Bank Boorowa (Bendigo Bank) for much needed support and sponsorship that will benefit the local community.

The group have thanked the bank for not only their support of their housing services, but their support of the community as a whole.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bendigo Bank for their generous support of the Boorowa community," Carinya Court secretary Lillian Southwell said.

"This is truly a community bank.

"At a time when many in the community have lost their local banking services, the Bendigo Community Bank not only provided services to our small community but continually puts back into the community.

"Each year the bank supports many local community projects and as a beneficiary of this generosity through Carinya Court we express our appreciation for this support."

Carinya Court is committed to providing low cost housing to locals who need it, ensuring the safety and security of some of the most vulnerable within the community.

"Over 40 years Carinya Court has been providing low cost accommodation to the aged and disadvantaged of Boorowa and with the generous support of the Community Bank we have been able to upgrade many of the older units, replace water tanks, provide each unit with a garden storage shed, construct a gazebo within the grounds for tenant barbecues and meetings," Lillian said.

"As a non-for-profit organisation, therefore, none of this would have been possible without community support."

Carinya Court is working on completing its new complex of four units.

"Carinya Court is now looking to complete the Complex on Court Street with the building of four new units and again, with the support of the Community Bank and others, we have almost met our first target with the design, Council approval etc to start on the first of the two duplex builds," Lillian said.

"Please, remember when you support your Community Bank, you are supporting your community."
