It also includes Westfund's Here for Hearts program, which provides access to defibrillators for eligible organisations.
The successful applicants in Lithgow included Can Assist Lithgow, Quota International Lithgow branch, Lithgow District Men's Shed Association, Thrive Services Lithgow, Lithgow Bears Rugby League Football Club, Lithgow Valley Pistol Club and Lithgow Information and Neighbourhood Centre.

"It is a real privilege to be able to support such a diverse range of community organisations in Lithgow," she said.
The program is built on a foundation of four pillars; family, health, fit for life and community.
According to Ms Gibson successful applicants demonstrated their commitment to one or multiple pillars and it was pleasing for Westfund to engage with organisations whose community based values aligned so closely with their own.
"The recipients represent a diverse range of community groups from locations across the country," she said.
The next round of the program is scheduled to open on Friday, November 15. More details available online via https://www.westfund.com.au/grants/.
