A client recently asked us to see whether we can make good use of her late husband’s medical supplies by donating it to someone that may be in a similar condition before he passed away… We are so glad that we can fulfil that wish by donating them to CanRevive Inc. 更生會 … These medical supplies will help some other families to save some money….

We are excited to bring you the first Northcott Diversity Festival scheduled for Tuesday October 25, 11am – 2pm at Eddie Ward Park, Surry Hills.
Northcott Diversity Festival celebrates the rich cultural history of inner Sydney communities while promoting diversity, social cohesion, and community spirit.
The event is entirely FREE with live entertainment from culturally diverse performers and artists, various food and drink options, information stalls as well as fun and engaging activities.
Funding for this project has been provided by the NSW Government. We would also like to thank the City of Sydney for its generous support and contributions.
We pay our respects to the traditional landowners, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
In case of wet weather, the event will be postponed. Please survey our social media in the lead-up to the event. … See MoreSee Less

WE NEED YOU!
Sydney Local Health District is starting an exciting new project in the inner city – the Waterloo Peer Education Program.
Research has shown education delivered by peers is better received and understood in the community so we’re looking for 15 local Waterloo residents to join our team as Peer Educators and help deliver important health and wellbeing messages.
Understanding mental health, drug and alcohol education, helping someone in an emergency and making sure your neighbour is OK are just some of the topics that you may be called on to share with your community.
Training is provided by our experienced health staff and an allowance will be paid for each education session you deliver.
Get in touch with Healthy Living Program Manager, Shane Brown (pictured), if you are interested in being a part of this great project. Shane can be contacted on shane.brown1@health.nsw.gov.au or 0408 257 986. … See MoreSee Less

Soil testing work planned across Waterloo South
As you may be aware, LAHC has engaged Douglas Partners Pty Ltd to complete soil testing work across Waterloo South using hand tools and truck-mounted rigs in the coming weeks.
LAHC has been working with the Department of Communities and Justice, the City of Sydney and local community groups to prepare for this upcoming work. You may remember mention of this work at community meetings and in the Government newsletter and Counterpoint bulletins.
To prepare for this work, the contractors will be on site early next week, 19 September- 21 September to undertake some preliminary surveying for in-ground services. This work is quick and does not involve any digging.
The soil testing will commence in the coming weeks and include large truck-mounted rigs and hand tools.
Government employees will be on-site during the work, and car parking and footpath access will be carefully managed to ensure you experience minimal disruption. The surveyors will carry identification, which you can see on request.
If you have any questions or want more information about the work, please contact LAHC Community Engagement Team at CommunityEngagement@facs.nsw.gov.au or 1800 738 718. … See MoreSee Less
