MARGARET MORGAN

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown) (19:57): On 20 April Charlestown Caring Group threw a surprise farewell shindig for the amazing Margaret Morgan. Margaret is retiring after many years of service to our community, with 30 years of experience in the aged and disability sectors across a wide variety of roles, including as an assistant in nursing, a dementia unit coordinator, a staff educator and a manager of home and community care. Charlestown Caring Group provides support for the aged, people with a disability and their carers. The staff are supported by dedicated, caring and friendly volunteers, and Margaret has done such a wonderful job heading that team. Margaret has been at Charlestown Caring Group for 11 years and retired on Friday 30 April. She will certainly be missed by staff and clients of Charlestown Caring Group. An example of Margaret's leadership is that even during the height of the pandemic she and her team kept working. They adjusted their model to keep providing the same services with smaller groups of clients over more sessions in order to adhere to social distancing rules. I wish Margaret a long, happy and healthy retirement.
