Great Grows Here Grants Program For UNCLE TOBYS Great Grows Here Community Grants Program to Help Men’s Sheds Grow Greatness in the Riverina & Indigo Shire OVERVIEW UNCLE TOBYS has been fuelling Australia with the goodness of wholegrain snacks and cereals for 125 years. Produced in the small town of Wahgunyah, on the NSW and Victorian border, the UNCLE TOBYS team are passionate about helping to build thriving and resilient communities in the region they operate in. To support this commitment, the UNCLE TOBYS team work together with the Australian Men’s Shed Association by standing shoulder-to-shoulder to promote health and wellbeing in regional communities. With a focus on the Riverina (NSW) and Indigo Shire (VIC), the partnership focusses on increasing awareness of Men’s Sheds and aims to address social inclusion and meaningful participation. In 2018, UNCLE TOBYS supported various initiatives including the amplification of the R U OK? message throughout the Riverina region, the facilitation of 156 Men’s health checks at Australia’s biggest agricultural event, Henty Field Day and, for the first time, the distribution of $14,000 in grants to fund six grassroots community projects. After such a great response to the grants program last year, the initiative is running again in 2019 to provide Men’s Shed’s with further resources for goodwill community projects. UNCLE TOBYS Heads of Business Lisa May and Spencer Bartlet believe that “helping to nurture thriving and resilient communities is at the heart of the brand. And by supporting the Australian Men’s Shed Association we know we are helping provide meaningful activities for the local community, many of whom are staff, friends, families and farmers.” AMSA Executive Officer, David Helmers says “our partnership with UNCLE TOBYS is truly significant because it enables us to tangibly increase services and facilities for shedders across the Riverina and Indigo Shire. Like UNCLE TOBYS, the health and wellbeing of the community is paramount. A Men’s Shed is much more than four walls. Those walls often enable important conversations to take place, friendships to be forged and provide much needed support for many men.” 2018 UNCLE TOBYS GREAT GROWS HERE GRANT RECIPIENTS: Griffith Shed for Men GRIFFITH (NSW) – Building a Chicken coop for the local Lake Wyangan School.
