A group of Saint Ignatius’ College Year 11 students have been rolling up their sleeves and digging in to help out with garden projects at Minda Brighton.
When Sheena Wilson joined the team at Electronics Recycling Australia in March last year, she didn’t have any background in working with people with disability.
Delving deep into the record books and uncovering Minda history dating back to 1898 is all part of the work being diligently filed by dedicated volunteer Kerry Sutton.
Our Voice SA are running ten fortnightly workshops from May 13 to September 16, with the end goal being the formation of a Minda Client Consultative Committee.
Already wearing his state colours with pride, Minda client Jim took his game to the next level by hitting the courts of the annual Ivor Burge Basketball Championship as captain of one of the two South Australian teams.
Working side by side and walking hand in hand, husband and wife volunteer team Kathy and Phil Holgate are hailed as a true representation and extension of Minda’s values.
Support leader Michelle who oversees the operations at ‘Restyle’ says that the new shop is going to be client centric, with participants involved in all of the shop duties, as well as getting involved with a varied skills based program.
Volunteering at Minda has become quite the family affair for Pam Aagaard, but more importantly she says it’s a “privilege” to be able to give back.
Dean Taylor may not be a big fan of people making a fuss about him, but the committed Minda volunteer is worthy of a bit of “hoo-hah” according to the Volunteer Services team.
