Coast Shelter Donation
The Central Coast Law Society were fortunate in 2020 to obtain a regional grant from the Law Society of New South Wales for local service Coast Shelter which provides accommodation and support programs for people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or escaping domestic and family violence. The grant was matched with a donation from the Central Coast Law Society and $4000 was donated in total to this important service. CEO Michael Starr and Margie Portass from Coast Shelter attended with Central Coast Law Society President Ivan Kent and Treasurer Tamara Tunnicliff on 21 January 2021 to accept the donation.
