Playgroup WA, with the support of a grant from the WA Government through Lotterywest, has provided financial support to community playgroups for several years.
Under the grant, individual community playgroups were able to apply for financial support of between $500 - $15,000 directly through Playgroup WA, to fund the purchase of toys, education resources and other equipment.
All playgroups are encouraged to apply and you don't need to be a Playgroup WA member to be eligible.
