Hi, Rohan Braddy, Mambourin’s CEO, with my December message.
Hasn’t the year flown by? It seems like only 12 months ago that I was delivering the last end of year message!
Jokes aside, it really has been a jam-packed year, with lots to celebrate.
We managed to get through virtually the whole year without lock downs, although the dreaded COVID virus is still lurking in the background, still making people sick, still impacting on some of the programs and activities we would like to offer.
Despite that, many wonderful things have been happening at Mambourin through the year.
Honestly, what an amazing year 2022 has been!
And don’t Mambourin’s staff do an incredible job? Over the year, I understand that virtually everyone who wanted a service from Mambourin got what they needed. It might not have been every hour required, or precisely at the preferred times, but by and large we were able to fully support our community, which is a wonderful achievement.
I would like to thank our staff most sincerely for your adaptability, and for your determination to deliver supports. You have continued to put the person first and make a real difference in many hundreds of people’s lives.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you to the wider Mambourin community, in particular our family members and carers whose selfless commitment to your loved ones knows no bounds. We greatly appreciate your support and encouragement.
Thank you especially to the people we support, for choosing Mambourin to be your service provider. We truly value the trust you place in us.
Recently, we welcomed three new board members, making our board even stronger. Our board focuses on ensuring we meet our obligations and sets our strategy.
Mambourin continues to implement the strategic plan and deliver our purpose which is to connect people to every opportunity and support them to get what they want out of life.
We stay true to our values, and our roots, as we achieve our goals which include new services which create new opportunities for people.
I encourage you to check out our annual report on our website to find lots of details about events of the last year.
Highlights for the year include training supported employees to be quality control supervisors, strong advocacy at the federal election, the purchase of two properties, and new activities such as gaming, multimedia, our allied health partnership, and the Handbrake program, all achieved within budget and with a quality audit with excellent results.
I wish you a peaceful and relaxing festive season, and a Happy New Year.
I am really looking forward to working with you in 2023.
Please stay safe over the holiday period.
Bye for now.
