Now, as part of the ongoing celebrations, the Bridge Street branch would like to give back to the community.

Westpac Muswellbrook is inviting all local charities and not-for-profit organisations to nominate themselves for a $500 funding boost.

“To apply, simply tell us how your charity or group helps the local community and what you would use the additional funds for if you were the successful applicant,” Westpac bank manager Kath Wolters said.

“Organisations don’t have to have a Westpac account to apply – and don’t need to open one.”

Submissions can be sent directly to Ms Wolters via email at katherine.wolters@westpac.com.au no later than Friday, June 30.
