In the role of Chairperson, my involvement at Trudewind Neighbourhood House is that of volunteer, friend, supportive listener and decision maker. This is a role I am proud to hold, especially when reflecting on the achievements of the entire centre throughout 2014, and the strong relationships that have been formed over the year.
I would like to thank the Committee of Management. The Committee members are a great mix of strong people from various walks of life. This ensures that a variety of views are represented in planning the direction of the centre and for this I give a great deal of thanks and gratitude.
During 2014, I was able to participate in courses offered at Trudewind. This gave me an insight into the positive impact our participants experience. I left each session with a sense of achievement and pride, knowing I had learned a new skill and gained knowledge. I gained a healthier understanding of how people feel when they have participated and for this I give thanks!
