Queanbeyan sporting community digs in for Yvonne Cuschieri House respite care facility

Key points

• Queanbeyan’s sporting community is helping complete the Yvonne Cuschieri House respite care facility. The six-bedroom centre for people aged 18 to 60 with terminal or chronic illnesses has been built, but its future operations depend on political decisions.
• Local clubs and businesses are assisting with landscaping, with the project scheduled for completion this weekend.
• The facility is named after Yvonne Cuschieri, who campaigned for a youth respite centre after her son’s death.
