Nanna’s Touch Community Connections Lithgow Inc. has entered a new chapter following its Annual General Meeting held on Thursday night, July 10. With a strong leadership team and dedicated volunteers, the organisation is poised for another impactful year serving the Lithgow community.
Congratulations are extended to all newly elected and returning committee members, who were officially sworn in during the AGM. Taking on the role of President is Sue Murdoch, who also continues in her positions as Treasurer and Public Officer—a clear reflection of her commitment and leadership within the organisation.
Joining her on the executive team are Vice-President Geoff Bretherton and Secretary Michele DeSilva.
The committee for 2025–26 also includes a strong group of members: Olga Rooney, Jenny Williams, Monique Neville, Prue Mogg, Rose Douglass, Sandy Conway-Powles, Julianne Vlores and Sue Pillans.
Together, they will oversee and guide the ongoing work of Nanna’s Touch, a grassroots organisation that continues to grow in reach and reputation.
With 18 regular volunteers supporting its services, the group is expanding its efforts to meet increasing demand for practical and meaningful community assistance. Their two core initiatives—the Community Kitchen and Healthy Hampers program—have become essential services for many vulnerable residents across the region.
Nanna’s Community Kitchen is held every Wednesday evening at 5pm and offers a hot meal and a warm welcome to anyone who needs it. Held in a supportive and inclusive environment, the kitchen continues to be a vital source of connection for many.
The Healthy Hampers program, meanwhile, provides nutritional food packages to those doing it tough, with the goal of ensuring no one in the local area is left without support.
President Sue Murdoch said the committee was looking forward to another productive and positive year.
“We’re incredibly lucky to have such a dedicated team of volunteers and committee members behind us,” she said. “Everything we do is about connection—making sure people in our community know they’re not alone.”
As the organisation continues to grow, Nanna’s Touch remains focused on compassion, dignity and practical support for those who need it most.
To find out more or get involved, visit the Community Kitchen on Wednesdays at 5pm—everyone is welcome.
