Editor Notes

Hi everyone and welcome to April 2021. With the team moving into their new building at 170 East Street there have been a number of challengers that have presented and overcome. As this is an old building, the electrical wiring and in particular the power boards were out of date and required urgent modernising. Our friends at Ergon Energy did not turn up when booked as they had lost the job booking? This caused a flow on effect in that we couldn’t have the air-conditioning connected which stalled the connection of the computers and electrical equipment. But we are getting there. The outside of the building is being restored back to the original heritage colours and the old painted signs and party lights have been taken down. The external doors are being replaced with glass doors allowing for better natural light and appeal. Watch this space for an official opening date. This is a reminder that you are all kindly invited to share your story with us and our community. Your story is a compelling and positive way to share what it’s like to live with a disability or support a person with disability. It can help us feel connected and learn from each other’s experiences. The story doesn’t need to be uplifting or inspirational. It just needs to be your story. And, it can be kept anonymous if you prefer. Please contact one of our administration team if you have a story you would like to share.
