Hello and welcome to the second edition of News from Northside.

I am excited to share more stories from across the Northside team with you. Over the last six months, we have been able to be engaged with the community far more than we have over the previous few years. This has meant we have been able to have many exciting programs back up and running, but as a community service organisation we have also had to remember and support those who are still feeling the impacts of the pandemic.

All of the stories in this publication would not be possible without the incredible Northside team. They have continued to demonstrate professionalism and resilience, and I’d like to thank them all for the important work they undertake across Canberra.

We have also been able to continue our advocacy work, particularly highlighting the need for greater recognition of our early childhood educator and home support worker teams, increased recognition of the needs of children in the ACT, and action to end violence against women and children.

I hope you enjoy this wrap-up of another exciting six months at Northside.

Take care,

Anna Whitty
Chief Executive Officer
Northside Community Service
