We are excited to celebrate the second annual Queensland Seniors Month with a great line-up of funded events and activities.
It was a completive year for subsidy applications and a panel comprising of representatives from the Queensland Government, and two-regional community-based organisations recently joined COTA Queensland to evaluate 153 applications.
Thanks to the Queensland Government, 104 groups and organisations will share in $100,000, supporting 108 events and activities.
