This is such a fantastic organisation that has always gone above and beyond to help and assist Leeton shire residents in their times of need.

I would urge any resident wanting or thinking about becoming more involved with the community to put their hand up to join this fantastic committee.

It seems crazy that we might see this group go into recess.

Unfortunately, it is a tale we are hearing too often.

Leeton has many fantastic community groups and organisations, but many of them are manned by the same people.

It’s time for the younger generation to stand up and help give something back to our great shire.

We can no longer rely on the same people having to volunteer their time.

There is so much to be gained from being part of the many worthy groups in Leeton.

If you think you might be interested in helping JumpStart in particular, I would encourage you to get in touch with the organisation.

Generally, if you would like to help out a particular group it is usually as easy as getting in contact or attending one of their meetings.

Fresh faces are always warmly welcomed.
