Cheers to 30 Years Festival held by Northparkes in Cooke Park to celebrate 30 years of operations and give back to the community.
Throughout 2024 Northparkes Operations has directly or in partnership contributed nearly 900 thousand dollars to communities in the central west.
One of the recipients of that funding was the Eugowra Community Children’s Centre that received over $400,000 from Evolution Mining to contribute to their new purposebuilt day care centre. The donation will help to fund the long day care room in the new centre – that is set to open in 2026.
This is an extremely important facility for Eugowra as the original centre was destroyed in the 2022 floods and now operates out of a temporary location. With more space, there will be more children who can benefit from the centre as Eugowra continues to rebuild to be better than ever following the devastating floods.
The Eugowra Community Children’s Centre Management Committee said this donation will allow our community owned service to continue to provide long day care for working families in a new, purposebuilt facility. “We are absolutely certain that the impacts of this donation will be long lasting as we can now ensure that future generations of local families will have access to this critical service for many years to come.”
Northparkes Operations General Manager Rob Cunningham said that this is an outstanding project for Evolution to be involved in and really reinforces the strong commitment to support communities where we operate. “Childcare is a need throughout Australia, but Eugowra, as it recovers from the 2022 floods, is such a worthy recipient.
We are thrilled to partner with the team at Eugowra Community Children’s Centre and we’re looking forward to seeing the final results as the build progresses,” he said.
