$10,000 grants available
THE operators of the She Shed at Mossman are urging the community to apply for an Australia Post grant of up to $10,000 after their success last year.
Australia Post community and stakeholder engagement general manager Nicky Tracey said in times of disaster, it was local organisations that were best placed to support the recovery process.
She said one of the successful Queensland projects that benefited from the 2024 community grants program was The She Shed in Mossman.
“She Shed played a vital role in supporting women impacted by Cyclone Jasper and the Mossman Mill closure,” Ms Tracey said.
Mossman Support Services community engagement worker Tanya Morris said The She Shed began as a small, humble space but had quickly become a vital refuge for rural women dealing with social isolation and mental health challenges.
“Thanks to the Australia Post community grant, we have been able to upgrade essential facilities and invest in specialised tools, turning the shed into a lively community asset,” she said.
“It’s more than just a space, it’s where skills are learnt and shared, confidence is rebuilt and leadership blossoms.”
Grants are open until July 7. To check eligibility, visit:
