🎉Congratulations to David Bell and Sarah Azar – the individual winners of this year’s Anna Alderson Award. 🎉 This award celebrates the most outstanding efforts of our team. Dave's exceptional communication, and organisational skills, combined with his kindness, compassion, and positive personality ensure the people he supports feel cared for and valued. Sarah supported an older person facing a challenging and sensitive circumstance. Her diligence, attention to detail, and willingness to tackle the signs head-on with the utmost respect and gentle calm approach have made a lasting impact. The support and kindness that Sarah has shown will go a long way towards this client’s recovery. 🌟 Thank you, David and Sarah, for embodying Rise’s values and making a meaningful difference!

The Vulnerable Client Support Team win Rise’s Anna Alderson Team Award! 🎉 This dedicated Aged Care Team demonstrated exceptional teamwork in supporting a vulnerable older person navigating a challenging home environment. Their unwavering commitment ensured he had a voice, empowering and encouraging his independence and decision-making despite significant obstacles. Congratulations to Trish O'Neil, Kirill Ivans, Clare Francioni, Nicole Horvat, Niki Maric, Sade Aanensen, Sharna Toth, Marlene Watkins, Jessica Wheeler, and Bron Foster. 🌟 The Anna Alderson Award honours the memory of former Board Chair and Director Dr. Anna Alderson and the example she set in demonstrating Rise’s values – integrity, respect, welcoming and optimism.

🎉 Celebrating International Volunteer Day (IVD)! Today, we say thank you 🙏 to the amazing volunteers who make a difference in our community every day. Volunteers like Marie Zoghbi, who has been supporting artists at the Arts Hub for over 8 years. Through activities like drawing, crochet, and knitting, Marie empowers people to explore their creativity and celebrates their progress along the way. Thank you, Marie, and all our dedicated volunteers, for your passion and generosity. ✨

Tomorrow is International Day of People with Disability 🌟 Let’s build an inclusive WA where everyone can thrive! Kerry has been brightening the Warwick Arts Hub with her love of pottery, woodwork, and painting for the last four years. 🎨 When she’s not at the Arts Hub, she still finds ways to be creative – recently taking up crocheting and crafting cozy blankets for her family. Kerry loves coming up with unique and creative ideas, and watching them come to life. Even better, she says, is that the Arts Hub is full of fantastic people who share her enthusiasm and creativity. It’s a place she can truly be herself. #IDPwD
