Decades of service rewarded NICOLA BARTON Local community worker Shyama Perera is being recognised for 20 dedicated years of service to the Hills Community Aid in Baulkham Hills. Recently, Baulkham Hills MP David Elliot, The Hills Shire Council Mayor Michelle Byrne, and City of Parramatta Councillor Bill Tyrrell attended the organisation to present Ms Perea with a Community Service Award. Hills Community Aid has been an integral grassroots organisation servicing The Hills, Parramatta and broader western Sydney for over 50 years. The community organisation was established in 1969 by social worker Mary Lane, who identified a lack of services in the area for mothers needing support. Since then, Hills Community Aid has continued to grow its grassroots connection by providing front-line services to people who are vulnerable and experiencing disadvantage. With the vision of creating safe, healthy, connected and inclusive communities, the organisation now delivers over 21 sustainable social, financial, health/ LOCAL NEWS City of Parramatta Councillor Bill Tyrrell, community worker Shyama Perera and Baulkham Hills MP David Elliot. well-being and educational programs, and services to strengthen and connect communities and reduce social isolation. Hills Community Aid Executive Officer, Mici Beer, said none of this would be possible without people like Ms Perera. “None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our small team of staff and an army of volunteers,” she said. Ms Perera is the longest-serving employee at the organisation. First joining the team back in 2001 as a volunteer, she was quick to become an integral permanent member of staff with her deep knowledge and expertise now at the core of Hills Community Aid’s Financial Inclusion program. She conducts close to 200 client visits each year and dedicates endless additional hours to deliver a first-class service to some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in the community. Ms Perera has been instrumental in establishing the No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) and the Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA) Scheme. She has also developed an outreach service to deliver no interest loans (NILS) and Emergency Relief funding in numerous locations to ensure those in need can access assistance. “The work I do I really enjoy, I like helping people and it really doesn’t feel like a job to me,” Ms Perera said. “These people are very resilient and I am grateful they put their trust in us to provide them with assistance. “I was speechless and shocked to receive this award, I had no idea it was happening and my family was here for it, so it was really special.” Has someone you know been recognised?
