Celebrating a Decade of Partnership for Seniors Christmas Celebration

SydWest Multicultural Services 2 mins read

SydWest Multicultural Services is excited to announce its annual Seniors Christmas Celebration, taking place on Saturday, December 7th, at Bowman Hall in Blacktown, starting at 2pm. This year also marks the tenth anniversary of our successful collaboration with the Sri Sathya Sai Global Council - Australia. 

The dedicated volunteers from Sri Sathya Sai have been instrumental in making this event a success. Their contributions range from setting up the venue to organising the entertainment & gifts for our seniors and recording the proceedings. This year, around 50 volunteers will be working on the day from Sri Sathya. 

“We are so pleased to be working with Sri Sathya in delivering our annual Christmas for seniors – they are a powerhouse partner without whom we would not be able to run this event with such great success each year,” said Mereline Murimwa-Rarami, SydWest’s Aged Care Manager. 

Over the past decade, this event has grown in size, strength, and popularity. This year, more than 400 seniors will enjoy performances by various seniors social support groups, featuring cultural dances and songs, as well as other entertainment.  

Elfa Moraitakis, CEO of SydWest Multicultural Services, expressed her gratitude: “I am so thankful to our Aged Care team and their strong collaborative connections with Sri Sathya that allow us to celebrate our seniors and the holiday season together. This partnership is truly an example of SydWest values in action.” 

Join us in celebrating this milestone and the festive season with our vibrant community!

*** MEDIA ALERT *** Uniting NSW.ACT available for Drug Summit comment

Uniting NSW.ACT’s General Manager of Advocacy & External Relations Emma Maiden is available for comment following the NSW Drug Summit in Sydney today: Speaking after this morning’s session, she said:“In this morning’s sessions, we heard some powerful stories and a strong reflection that when it comes to how we are dealing with people who use drugs in NSW, the evidence is clear, what we’re doing isn’t working. “We agree with Professor Don Weatherburn when he said, ‘there’s no evidence that prosecuting people for their drug use makes them less likely to use drugs, in fact it causes harm to them,…
