A Heartfelt Thank You for a Generous Grant

We are overjoyed to announce a significant contribution that will significantly enhance the lives of the young families we serve.  Diane Reid, Chief Executive of Karinya Young Women's Service, Jane Gaetani-Black, and Tasmanian Gas Pipeline Chief Executive Wacek Lipski have celebrated a generous $5,000 grant awarded to Karinya.

This substantial community grant, provided by the Tasmanian Gas Pipeline, is earmarked for a practical and much-needed cause.  The funds will be utilised to purchase essential household appliances — specifically, washing machines and refrigerators — for properties associated with the KYM program.

The KYM program supports young families aged 15-20 in the Launceston area, providing them with safe accommodation and comprehensive wraparound support.  This initiative recognises the importance of a stable home environment in young families' holistic development and well-being at a crucial stage of their lives.

With this generous $5,000 grant, we are set to address a critical need within our facilities, enhancing the living conditions for these young families.  Access to new, reliable washing machines and fridges will reduce the everyday stress on these young parents and foster a more comfortable and nurturing environment for them and their children.

We sincerely thank the Tasmanian Gas Pipeline for supporting and believing in our mission.  This grant is not just a donation; it's a lifeline that will significantly improve the quality of life for the young families we support, making a tangible difference in their daily lives.

Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to make strides in providing the best possible care and support for our young families.  With the unwavering support of our community and partners, we can create a brighter future for all.
