Newcrest Digs Deep for Flood-Affected Communities Newcrest Mining's Cadia Valley Operations (Cadia) continues to recognise the widespread and ongoing impact of recent flooding across Central West communities. In support, Newcrest is donating $150,000 through the Newcrest Sustainability Fund to Rural Aid and a further $150,000 to the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) to deliver on-the-ground relief to affected local communities. Newcrest is working closely with Rural Aid and FRRR to ensure the funds go to the most appropriate disaster relief and recovery efforts. Rural Aid will use the funding for debit cards with loaded limits for eligible primary producers, as well as for the provision of clean drinking water and livestock fodder. Once the immediate response has been deemed to be met, any remaining funds will be used to support a mental health counsellor in the local area. The FRRR will direct Newcrest's donation to their Prepare and Recover Program, which supports not-for- profit organisations such as men's sheds, neighbourhood centres, hall committees, and school P&Cs. In addition to this financial assistance, volunteers from Cadia's workforce have been travelling to Eugowra to assist with the clean-up of private residences, aged care units and preschool. Cadia's fixed plant electrical team also assisted with re-wiring the Eugowra Newsagency and Supermarket. Next week, teams will help at Manildra and Molong. A GIVIT fundraising page has also been established for Cadia employees wishing to make a financial contribution. Cadia will match these funds, dollar-for-dollar, through its Community Partnership Program. Cadia's General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said Newcrest would continue to support communities across the Central West that have been severely impacted by devastating floods. "It has been inspiring how our neighbouring communities, who are doing it incredibly tough, continue to show immense courage and resilience," Mr Brannigan said. "While we know there's still a long road to recovery, the Newcrest team hopes that this financial assistance and volunteering support will give these communities the support they need to start rebuilding." fast) Cadia's General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, and Rural Aid CEO, John Warlters, at the fodder drop in Forbes last week.
