CHRIS SYMONS Chair
from the chair
We have had a very busy May with requests for support increasing as more people find out about the work we are doing. Donations Below are some of the people we have been supporting.
Jeffrey suffers from a range of medical issues, as well as autism and anxiety. Because of these conditions, Jeffrey is not doing as well in school as he might do, and this is a critical age for him to build up numeracy and literacy skills if he is to have a bright and independent future. The foundation was able to purchase items to support Jeffrey's sensory needs which will help him to concentrate and develop to his full potential. There are also items to support Jeffrey at home with quiet times and sleep time.
We were able to support two Jordan River students undertake a trip of a lifetime. Josh and Lisa are stepping well outside their comfort zone and taking an 8 night trip on Windeward Bound. Lisa has never been on a boat so sailing to Strahan should be a real eye opener. This trip will allow the students to work on team work, communication, leadership and other skills to assist them in their transition post year 12. CHILDREN IN NEED If you know of any children requiring assistance and/ or are able to support with donations please do not hesitate to contact me (0408 075 734 or csymons@ goodstart.org.au ) or one of the other board members to discuss if we can assist.
