MESSAGES OF SUPPORT
Geoff Provest MP State Member for Tweed Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism & Major Events
2019 closed with rain but 2020 brought bushfires and an unexpected pandemic that has impacted on our communities in ways we could not have imagined. People already experiencing disadvantage have been further isolated and marginalised as Health Directives limiting personal contact severely affected those without ready access to technology. Momentum Collective in this region faced enormous challenges in service delivery due to the closure of the NSW-Queensland Border and the impact on staff availability and access to services. It has taken a great deal of ingenuity and commitment on its part to continue to support clients in this most challenging of times. I would particularly congratulate Momentum Collective for its work, in partnership with NSW Communities & Justice and with Social Futures, in the assertive outreach program to reduce homelessness in our region. This program not only helps people find tenancies, but guides and supports them to sustain these tenancies into the future. I acknowledge and thank the caring staff and volunteers at Momentum Collective for their diligence and dedication during this most trying of times and wish them well in the year ahead.
