In May the Cessnock/Kurri Kurri/Singleton Palliative Care arranged the production ’4 Funerals in one day’ by Molly Carlile to be performed in the local region to promote community education and development to nurture ill and grieving people.
Due to support from the local community, including a $500 donation from Companion, the performance was free for anyone who wished to attend. This was a great outcome as the objective was to promote palliative care philosophy by allowing people to talk about death and grief and encourage community support.
The performance was highly spoken of and the staff from Companion who attended the performance have said it was a very positive experience.

We are pleased to announce that the Community CPS Foundation in South Australia has provided a grant of $5,000 for 2,000 native seedlings to be planted in support of Greening Australia’s tree planting Arbor Day event, held on Sunday 19 June 2011 in McLaren Vale.
This community initiative aims to create a sustainable environment for native flora and fauna in the Gemtree Wetlands area.
Greening Australia is a national environmental not-for-profit organisation with a mission to increase the quantity and quality of native habitat and to restore ecological systems. They deliver this mission through conservation planting, native vegetation management and re-vegetation services.
Greening Australia in SA recognises the importance of developing strong links with the corporate sector in their efforts to restore the unique Australian landscapes and believe that by working together our partnership can make a visible difference.
This is the beginning of a new and exciting partnership with Greening Australia in SA and we look forward to the many opportunities to work together on community initiatives in the near future.
