The recent sale of Auscott farms by the Boswell family has resulted in a generous donation to children’s support organisation Royal Far West.
The James G. Boswell Foundation has announced a gift of $650,000 to Royal Far West.
“We are honoured to be selected for this incredible donation and with the gift being unrestricted, it means we will be able to use it where we see the most need,” CEO of Royal Far West, Jacqueline Emery, said.
“After some of the most challenging times for Australian country families, this wonderful gesture by The James G. Boswell Foundation will give hundreds of country kids the chance to thrive”.
“The Boswell Company is proud of its involvement and relationship with the rural communities it has operated in since 1963 and on the sale of Auscott, we are pleased to provide this gift to say thank you,” former CEO of Auscott and representing J. G. Boswell Company, Ashley Power said.
“Royal Far West helps young children in rural areas at a most critical stage in their educational and behavioural development, which dramatically changes future outcomes.
“This is not only an extraordinary benefit for these young people and their families, but also as these young people grow to be part of the community, it supports the growth and welfare of these rural communities for many years to come,” Mr Power said.
