We are able to work with and support individuals and groups interested in improving our environment and encouraging sustainable living in a number of ways:
- Sutherland Shire Environment Centre is respected. We have credibility, and contacts. Our members have diverse skills, years of experience dealing with issues that impact on the environment, and can offer invaluable strategic advice.
- Sutherland Shire Environment Centre is Incorporated, and we can act as an auspicing organisation, on the understanding that responsible grant reporting requirements must be adhered to.
- Our Incorporated status can support your community group with the administrative infrastructure you might need to achieve your environmental goals (ABN, bank account, tax deductibility, public liability and volunteers insurance).
- Sutherland Shire Environment Centre’s Local Environment of Australia Funding (LEAF) recognises and supports individuals and groups in the Sutherland Shire and bioregions who act to protect our environment. Local Environment of Australia funding is distributed fairly and with integrity to eligible causes as stipulated by the LEAF grants criteria.
- We can also provide limited funding for expenses such as meeting room hire, printing, posters, and banners – without the need for formal grant funding.
- Environment Centre staff and volunteers can assist with operational support, such as ticketing and organisational assistance with events, proofing letters and submissions.
- We can help amplify your message to the wider community via our websites, social media, and assistance with media releases, and radio community service announcements.
- Connections formed with other groups are aimed to benefit our environment, and build each other as partners in the community.
