Regional Australia Bank has handed out $65,519.15 to the Cobar community from their Community Partnership Program (CPP) for the 2020/2021 financial year. Their members can choose a local community group that they would like to support, and Regional Australia Bank calculates the average annual balance in that account and matches that with a donation of one per cent to their chosen group at the end of the financial year. Among this year’s recipients were: Cobar Junior Rugby League ($8,757.29); Cobar Preschool ($3,300), Cobar Auto Club ($3,545), the Mayoral Chest ($1,238) and the PP’s charity group ($1,661.)
