Meet Your Neighbour Donations

Within the City of Ryde there is an increasing number of residents in high density living. It can be more challenging for people living in high density accommodation to meet their neighbours and connect with their local community. This category of donation provides an opportunity for residents to connect. Funding of up to $250 is available.
