At the start of this year Kosdown Director David Downie was actively involved in initiating and helping to set up the RW Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was created in the memory of Kosdown friend and local Mordialloc identity Richard ‘Dickie’ Williams.

Kosdown are actively involved in our local communities and when there is an opportunity to get involved and support a good cause, we do. As such Kosdown director David Downie welcomed the opportunity to help set up a Scholarship Fund in honour of dear old friend and local identity Richard (Dickie) Williams.
