Meet Our Q1 Community Support Grant Recipient
We’re proud to announce Lipscombe Park Kindergarten as the recipient of our Q1 2026 Community Support Grant.
Located in Croydon, Lipscombe Park Kindergarten provides a nurturing and engaging learning environment where children develop important life skills through play-based education. The kindergarten plays a vital role in supporting local families by creating opportunities for children to learn, grow and build confidence in a safe and supportive setting.
The Community Support Grant will assist the kindergarten in purchasing a new oven, allowing educators to continue delivering cooking and baking activities as part of their learning programs. These activities help children develop practical skills, encourage teamwork and support early learning through hands-on experiences.
“Receiving this grant means that our kinder can fund a new oven, which we desperately need. The children can continue to have fun and learn through cooking and baking with our educators. Thank you Noel Jones!”
The kindergarten is an important part of the local community and is supported by our Noel Jones Croydon office.
Our Community Support Grant forms part of Noel Jones’ ongoing commitment to supporting the communities we work and live in. Each quarter, we provide funding to local organisations, schools, kindergartens and community groups making a positive impact across our network.
If you know of a local organisation that could benefit from our support, we encourage you to nominate them for a future grant round.
