STORMco - STORMco (Service To Others Really Matters) is a volunteer program where we take time out to serve others - the program runs Australia wide. Here at Kellyville STORMco takes on two forms; one is within our local community ranging from a kids club to volunteering in our community. The other is a visit to regional NSW serving the community of Nyngan to run two free programs, a primary school age ‘Kids Club’ and an afternoon program for teen ‘Wildlife’. We have been visiting Nyngan for more than 10 years, generally in the April school holidays.
