An organisation I want to give my time and experience to
​
Volunteering for JumpStart allows me to support a local charity in a unique and impactful way.
It plays a crucial role in our community by assisting people when they feel like no other help seems available.
JumpStart is deeply connected to our community's needs, so supporting it in this capacity helps the charity and our entire community. It's definitely an organisation I want to give my time and experience to.

We now have peace of mind
​
I am taking the time to write to you today to express my sincere gratitude to your organisation for your generous assistance in purchasing the Night Watch seizure monitor for my daughter.
The monitor arrived less than a week after payment and it has given us the confidence and reassurance for my daughter to be back sleeping in her own room, and I am finally getting some much needed sleep. It really has been a blessing for us, bringing us both peace of mind and we are extremely grateful.
The Leeton Shire community are very lucky to have the wonderful Jumpstart Fund supporting our locals. Keep up the great work! Forever thankful. ~ Past Recipient of Leeton JumpStart Fund

“Working alongside the Leeton JumpStart Fund through the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR)'s Investing in Rural Community Futures (IRCF) program has been wonderful. The organisation has participated in all program activities, always embracing learning with an open mindset and making the most of every opportunity.
In 2023, Leeton JumpStart representatives attended the Social Impact in the Regions Conference and made a phenomenal effort in sharing learnings with the Leeton Shire community sector on their return. Leeton JumpStart is community minded through and through and FRRR wishes the team every success in the future.”
