Social and community service workers are the backbone of support and connection within our communities. Every day, they provide care, guidance, and hope at some of the most challenging times in someone’s life. Whether through counselling, providing services to children and families, support for older people, or initiatives to celebrate diversity and inclusion, their impact is felt deeply.
Over the next week, we’ll be sharing heartfelt reflections submitted to Inner Sydney Thanks You 2025. These stories highlight the countless ways community workers make a difference—from creating safe spaces for families and fostering emotional resilience to supporting survivors and breaking down barriers around difficult conversations.
Across Sydney, workers and service users have sent in pictures and quotes to shine a light on the often-undervalued work being done in our communities, to say thank you.
There’s still time to share your story and help celebrate these incredible community champions. Submit your reflections below and join us in recognising the strength, compassion, and dedication of those who keep our communities strong and connected.
We look forward to celebrating together at Inner Sydney Thanks You 2025, Thursday, 22 May at 10 AM at Bondi Pavilion.
