COMMUNITY at 3 will temporarily act as trustee of funds raised by the community following the Laurieton Seafoods/Fisherman’s Co-op fire on 15 January.

Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au The decision was made following a meeting of representatives from the charity, Laurieton Seafoods/Fisherman’s Co-op and the Laurieton United Services Club on 6 February. While acting as trustee of the funds, Community at 3 played no part in deciding how they will be distributed. Community groups and organisations that raised money for the Fisherman’s Co-op and Laurieton Seafoods are now being asked to release those funds to Community at 3 ahead of the 21 March distribution. “It is a sensitive matter in our community as funds have been raised and we don’t know where they are,” said Community at 3 co-chairperson Theo Hazelgrove. “So Community at 3 have stepped up just to be the recipients of the money and disperse the fund after 21 March.” The not-for-profit has now opened an account at Regional Bank Laurieton to hold the funds. “Organisations can pay directly to the account or make a donation at Kew Corner Store, however it is important that all money comes forward.” Contact Community at 3 for the account details.
