Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (18:20:33):

I am proud to recognise the hard work of SHARE SMR in Hurstville, which did an outstanding job during the COVID-19 pandemic to support those in need. This wonderful organisation posted exercise videos on YouTube, ran online Zoom classes, offered nurse services, provided free food hampers and arranged phone support for those doing it tough. I particularly mention general manager Adrian Prakash, who won an individual award at last year's St George Community Awards, and Carmela Durdano, who won a senior award. Adrian and Carmela are both integral members of the team who have utilised their professional experience to continually improve the organisation. Carmela has been a fundamental member for over 20 years and is always there to assist and nurture others. The organisation received a group award for its contribution to the community during the pandemic and for reaching 35 years of service. The St George Community Awards have been running for 10 years and honours men and women from the region across a range of categories who go above and beyond every day.
