Tooradin Dalmore Football Netball Club are volunteering their time to support the community.

Club members are offering their time to hold a working bee in Tooradin on 6 May, 10am-12pm.

The club is taking requests for working bee projects throughout the local community.

“We want to give back to our community, to say thanks for all the ongoing support we receive,” said Tooradin Dalmore Netball Vice President Bec Kinna.

“We believe this is a great way to teach our junior and senior players that when we wear our colours we’re not only wearing them for us.

“We want everyone to know we represent our community with respect and care and just like on the court or field we’ve got each others backs.

The club has suggested possible projects including holding a free personal training and sporting session, mowing lawns, walking local pets, weeding gardens and collecting rubbish.

The members also plan to hold a meet and greet in the park.

“We will endeavour to help as many locals as we can and are looking forward to giving back to our community to show our appreciation for all the support our town gives to our club,” the club wrote in a Facebook post.

“This is an opportunity for us to show we’re more than a football and netball club, the residents of our town are our heart and soul and we’re willing to give them our support as they have for us for so many years,” Bec said.
