- Echuca Moama Probus Club’s grant will be put towards its 50 years of Probus celebration.
- Murray Singers Inc received funding towards performances at Wharparilla Aged Care.
- Lockington and District Senior Citizens will put its funding towards its annual Christmas luncheon.

The Seniors Program Grants support activities, events and programmes that celebrate positive ageing, strengthen meaningful social connections and encourage older residents to stay active, involved and engaged right across shire.
Mayor Daniel Mackrell said the grants program was created to bolster support and recognise the efforts of groups doing incredible work for Campaspe’s older residents.
“It’s great to see the variety of events taking place that benefit the older members of our community,” he said.
