2Connect

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge 2Connect who do an outstanding job at co-ordinating specialist services to support young people across the St George area. Last year I was lucky enough to head over to their office in Brighton Le Sands to meet the wonderful team led by Valentina Angelovska to see exactly how they operate. I also had the privilege of presenting them with a Community Group Achievement Award as part of the 10th Anniversary of the St George Community Awards. These awards acknowledge individuals and groups like 2Connect who continually improve our community and cater to those in need, to assist them when they need it most. Earlier this year they were also lucky enough to share in $200,000 of domestic violence funding to provide more intimate services to a broader range of clients. I also wish to thank NSW Attorney General, Mark Speakman, for coming along to the organisation to announce this funding and the importance of domestic violence prevention and care. Congratulations again to 2Connect on these outstanding achievements.

The House adjourned at 17:50 pursuant to resolution until Tuesday 16 November 2021 at 12 noon.
