More Support for Preston Locals

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support Bridge Darebin to keep providing locals with the essential services they need to get back on their feet.

We’ll provide a $100,000 grant to help them continue to support locals with community programs and education initiatives, including providing free nutritious lunches for locals, childcare and adult education.  

Since 1982, Bridge Darebin has supported thousands of Preston locals, providing social and educational services to help those who need it most.

Funding from Labor will make sure they are well-equipped to continue to help local families and members of our community – ensuring every Victorian gets the support they need when they need it.

It builds on the massive investments in community support already delivered by the Labor Government, ensuring neighbourhoods have accessible wellbeing and support services close to home.

In sharp contrast, Matthew Guy’s Liberals can’t be trusted when it comes to delivering the vital support that people in our community rely on. Their policy of cuts and closures would leave locals behind.

Only Labor will back the local organisations that keep our community strong – because only Labor will keep doing what matters.
