Community Housing Art Awards
The artistic talents of approximately 150 people across South Australia were recently celebrated at the inaugural Community Housing Art Awards South Australia (CHARTS). AnglicareSA has partnered with Access 2 Place Housing, Community Housing Ltd, Junction, Westside Housing, Housing Choices South Australia, and Unity Housing to provide this wonderful opportunity to people living in AnglicareSA’s more than 2,100 community housing properties. A variety of unique and stunning art was on display. The award categories included framed and hanging pictures, 3D sculptures, photography – both digital and graphic – poetry and literature. South Australian Premier, Steven Marshall, and the Right Honourable Lord Mayor of Adelaide, Sandy Verschoor, joined the celebration with award finalists including AnglicareSA tenants Edward, Leonard and Rex. Rex took home the major prize. A special thank you to the Harvey Norman Commercial Division and Electrolux, for the donation of $500 in cash prizes to the award winners.

Disability support during COVID During the COVID-19 pandemic, people living with disability have found it particularly difficult to get the support they need to live full, rewarding and independent lives. In the homes of our most vulnerable South Australians, AnglicareSA disability support workers have been doing their best to provide such assistance.
Over the Christmas period, Emmanuel volunteered to live through isolation with three male clients in the house who had tested positive. He supported the men through their isolation period at a time when few were willing to work with COVID-positive cases. His selfless commitment to his clients made a world of difference to these men and their families.
