Georges River Life Care

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to recognise the outstanding contribution of Georges River Life Care within our local community. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic they have been providing food packages for those in need from their office in Peakhurst. They have also continued their Artslife classes over zoom and in smaller groups to ensure that their members have stayed connected during this difficult time. I am also pleased to announce that on April 15 this year, the organisation hosted their annual Sleeping Rough event, which was my third time involved in this initiative. The event is designed to raise money for victims of family violence by getting people out of their comfortable beds to experience what it is like to sleep rough on the street. Earlier this year, I also had the opportunity to visit the organisation with NSW Attorney General, Mark Speakman, to discuss how the NSW Government will continue to support victims of domestic violence while looking towards prevention. Thank you to Glenn Power, Andrew Scipionie, and the entire team at Georges River Life Church.
