Welcome to our update from The House of Grace April 2010
House News
We have been very busy in the first quarter of the year. There are currently three residents in the home with two new-born baby boys. Natalie and Glenn and their family are loving their time in the Home and enjoying their roles in helping the residents adjust to life with a baby.
We welcomed our new Aftercare Co-ordinator, Raewyn (Rae) Larking in March. She is looking after our aftercare programme, and also helping the residents as they prepare to move out of the Home and into the community. She has recently completed an advocacy course through the Wellington People’s Centre and is already using the knowledge in her role. Welcome Rae!
The sealing and painting of the home started in April and is going well. This is a much-needed spruce up for the home, as well as waterproofing it ahead of the winter months. Thanks to Craig Ell and Resene for their expertise with this project.
We have settled in well to our new office in Johnsonville (same building, different space). It is great to have a separate space to run the office from, and have the Home as what it is, a home.
