State Member for Wallsend, Sonia Horney MP officially opened the Hunter United Diving Academy’s new springboards at Lambton Pool in December. The boards were funded by the club’s application for $65,499 from the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership grants in 2021. Ms Hornery was pleased to support the grant application from Hunter United Diving Academy, knowing how important it is for sporting organisations to have the right equipment to be able to foster youth engagement and support up and coming athletes.
