Artarmon resident Toni takes very good care of her home – and it is for this reason she received one of SGCH’s Pride of Place awards. 

These are certificates and $100 gift cards that are given by staff to a customer to recognise the excellent manner in which they look after their home or its surrounds.   

“I like a tidy home,” says Toni. “For me, it’s a matter of personal pride.” Toni not only keeps the interiors spick and span, she also enjoys tending to the beautifully lush garden around her unit. “My favourite time is when all the jasmine is out. It smells so good.”   

Toni is battling lung cancer at the moment and finds that caring for her home takes her mind off her health worries – even if it is just temporarily. She has lived in her SGCH apartment for more than 10 years now and loves that her home is safe and peaceful.   

 She is much adored by the SGCH staff she interacts with. “Toni never lets me or her Tenancy Manager, Rhonda, leave her place with an empty stomach or empty hands,” says Caitlin, our Community Engagement Coordinator. “She knows that Rhonda loves mango rice pudding so she made it for us one day when we were visiting. Toni is such a generous and caring person.”
