Hindmarsh Shire Council has awarded seven local community organisations grants through round two of the 2025/2026 Community Action Grants program.

This program consists of three categories that support community organisations in purchasing small equipment, hosting local events, and undertaking general projects not covered in the first two categories.
“It is important that Council continues to support local community organisations in delivering these projects and events, as they play a vital role in strengthening community connections and resilience”.
