Welcome to the Summer edition of Connect.
It’s jam-packed with useful information about your service and stories about fellow clients. Gordon’s energy in the garden (page 10) puts me to shame!
There are tips to protect yourself from scams (page 5) and how to prepare yourself for the prospect of bushfires this summer (page 8).
We warmly invite you to join us in urging parliamentarians to stay committed to minimising the harms from poker machine gambling (page 9).
We’ve launched our Christmas Appeal (page 12) to help families who are struggling with the rising cost of living as we head into the festive season. We are very grateful for our parish partners for joining us. And as always, it’s wonderful to be a recipient of the ABC Giving Tree Appeal.
May God bless you and your families this Christmas and I look forward to talking with you again in the New Year.
Chris Jones, CEO
