We care about the people who live in our community, that’s why we’ve contributed $25,000 towards the George Town RSL Sub Branch Veterans Support Vehicle. Together with the George Town Lions Club, we are making it easier for veterans and their families to attend medical appointments in Launceston and further afield. Our 2023 Local Voices survey highlighted that transport is of concern for some members of our community and we are glad to play a part in alleviating any speed bumps veterans may have in making their appointments.
