The support our community, charitable and sporting groups received from the Ainslie Group in the past may now be in jeopardy.
The Ainslie Group has served its community for well over 80 years and has always placed a high value on the support it provides to the local community and community groups.
The ACT Government is proposing to change the Club Community Contribution model to move support away from individual sporting and community groups to a select centralised charity fund (see the video here).
This means there is a very high probability that the support the Ainslie Group provides to many of its community and sporting groups may change.
It doesn’t make sense for the Government to take funding away from individual sporting and community groups, in favour of a centrally administered fund which is why I am seeking your support.
Without compromise, the Ainslie Group gives back to the community through supporting numerous sporting groups, charitable organisations and community facilities. This assistance is critical for many and goes to the heart of community clubs.
