YOUR IMPACT MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Our Unfunded Projects initiative includes any project undertaken by Rural Lifestyle OptionsAustralia which adds value to the lives of the people we support, which we do not receive any funding for. Every dollar we raise through our Unfunded Projects counts and contributes toward supporting a person with a disability living in a rural or regional community. Our Unfunded Projects, as listed on our website, are only made possible through the generosity of members within our community. Contributions from Preloved Homewares Op Shop purchases, Play For Purpose ticket sales, bequests, donations, in-kind support from local businesses, and our Monthly Giving and Workplace Giving programs all assist in bringing our Unfunded Projects into fruition. We are pleased to announce that we have successfully achieved funding for Unfunded Project 10 which involved the installation and purchase of a Ceiling Hoist system designed to facilitate safe, comfortable and dignified transfers of people.
Ceiling Hoists are used to transfer people between two locations (e.g. between a chair and a bed). A ceiling hoist comprises of a track which is fitted to the ceiling and an electrically powered lifting motor, which is also attached to a sling. A big thank you to our supporters who have assisted us in achieving funding for this project which include the Stronger Communities Program Grant ($3,800), Bentleys Chartered Accountants ($3,200) and Beaudesert RSL Services Club ($2,000). Total project cost was $9,000.
Our Unfunded Projects initiative is only made possible with your support. To learn more about our Unfunded Projects visit www.rloa.org.au
