A caring community: Pamela Yard of Georges River Lioness Club, Tracy Sami of Sutherland Shire Carer Support Service, Raine Kornfeld of Sutherland Shire Carer Support Service, Jeannette Smith of Georges River Lioness Club and Oonagh McCallan of Kogarah Community Services.
St George and Sutherland Shire community services united for a common cause to mark National Carers Week on October 16-22.
A total of 40 carers from Sutherland Shire Carer Support Service, Kogarah Community Services and Georges River Lioness Club partnered for a high tea to celebrate the community event.
Carers Week acknowledges the important role that carers play.
Sutherland Shire Carer Support Service has developed a Resilient Carers program that provides unpaid carers with advice on how to deal with the stress and difficulty of caring for a loved one.
