It is with great sadness that WSCF is farewelling Nancy Nicholson next week. Nancy commenced at WSCF in December 2007 and has made a tremendous contribution to the organisation and to staff personally. We will miss her enormously and deeply appreciate her contribution.

She has provided great wisdom, humour, maturity and commitment to WSCF and her deep knowledge of community development and the sector has been invaluable. Among many achievements, Nancy created the original ZEST Awards, and leaves a legacy of many people acknowledged and celebrated for their work.

Nancy says “I wanted to take the opportunity to bid a fond farewell to the Community Service Workers in Western Sydney. The last 7 years with WSCF have been an exciting, challenging and interesting experience in which I have connected and worked with so many awesome individuals. There is much to be proud of and a big thank you to everyone. My last day at WSCF is the 15th January 2015. 2015 will be a big year and a time of change – I will turn 70 and look forward to having the freedom to enjoy what life offers. Wishing you Peace, Harmony, Laughter and love”.
