Mark Hodges, Member for Castle Hill, visited our store in Castle Towers to present manager Margaret Templeton with a copy of the Community Recognition Statement he gave in Parliament on 6 February.
He said it was “wonderful to be able to recognise the great work Lifeline does in our community”.
The statement says in part, "From their 13 11 14 helpline to counselling to support groups, this organisation, with caring and selfless volunteers, provides a light in the dark for vulnerable Australians.
“I would like to thank all those at Lifeline and all those who do their part for suicide prevention.
“Congratulations to Lifeline Castle Hill manager, Margaret Templeton and the volunteers at the new shop. I encourage the local and wider community to support this amazing organisation, and if you're in Castle Hill, give the new Lifeline Shop a visit."
