Grants for Dungog and Gresford RSL sub-Branch projects

DUNGOG RSL sub-Branch has received a $1400 grant to go toward its display of veterans’ uniforms.

A project is underway to ensure that uniforms gifted to the sub-Branch by veterans and their families, from all services, are displayed properly.

The uniforms range from WWII to those worn more recently in Afghanistan.

Funds will be used for mannequins and other display materials.

Dungog is one of several Upper Hunter sub-Branches to secure funding through the NSW Government’s Veteran Community Grants Program.

Gresford received $1,899 to purchase a PA system compatible lectern, which can be used at the Paterson Anzac Day Dawn Service, the Gresford Anzac Day Service and the Remembrance Day service.

Formerly known as the Anzac Community Grants Program, the 2025 round of the VCGP was the first delivered under a refreshed program design.

There is now more emphasis on funding projects that enhance veteran wellbeing, support recognition of the veteran community and events that acknowledge significant military anniversaries.
