When Mary, Transition Coordinator for Housing and Support, started working with Trevor he had been in Aged Care for seven years. A ‘simple Aussie bloke’, Trevor’s long-term goal was to move into his own home and live independently.
Right as Covid-19 restrictions were coming into place, Trevor, with help from Mary and her team, moved into a supported disability accommodation apartment in April 2020. Mary spoke to us about this process, and Trevor’s journey, for the 2021 AGM.
Front door recycling (FDR) is a clothing collection initiative offering real life work experience to adults with a disability in Ballarat.
FDR provides collection services for pre-loved clothing and textiles. We provide a complete solution to recycling, taking care of everything from collection through to distribution. Each household receives a FDR recycling bag and a collection calendar outlining FDR’s fortnightly collection dates for the year.
You can get involved, or organise to donate your preloved clothing, by contacting us.
Do you have an event coming up and need an inspirational speaker?
The Speakers Bank is comprised of public speakers with personal experience of disability and ageing who talk to groups about barriers to inclusion and experiences relating to work, social, and recreational pursuits.
All Speakers Bank speakers are trained in public speaking and are eager to share with the community the story of their lives, their experiences and their challenges.
You’ll be surprised by the things you’ll learn from a Speakers Bank speaker.
