Revesby Workers’ Club have provided many local organisations with funding through the ClubGrants program to assist with creating better opportunities for the community.

In 2015, Revesby Workers’ Club donated $7000 to Life Education NSW which went toward providing better support and educational resources for schools. The funding allowed Life Education to provide additional learning resources such as workbooks, posters and more recently new digital technology.

This year, Revesby Workers’ have contributed another $10,000 which will go toward improving the Mobile Learning Centre’s with an upgrade in technology by installing ESmart Touch Screens. Life Education will also focus of further developing educational programs for secondary schools to educate teenagers on the consequences of drug and alcohol abuse.

Life Education NSW is the largest independent health and drug education provider for school children from preschool, primary and secondary school visiting 640,000 children each year. Life Education’s Mobile Learning Centre travels to schools in the Bankstown area with iconic mascot, Healthy Harold, teaching children to make informed life choices, around such issues as bullying, cyber safety, drugs and healthy living.

Fundraising Manager, Lillian Adnan says that the funding will help many children become more engaged within the learning centres.

“Life Education is so thankful to Revesby Workers’ Club for taking the lead in assisting us in educating local children in the Bankstown region. We want to see every child in Bankstown armed with the tools to make healthy choices in their lives.”
