Volunteer honoured with award

The Bridge Narre Warren Community Coordinator Catherine Dunstan celebrated Trevor Williams'' achievement at the Casey Council Australia Day Awards.

Local disability support agency The Bridge has lots to celebrate.

One of its valued volunteers, Trevor Williams, was a finalist in the Casey Council Australia Day Awards Senior Citizen category.

Mr Williams was nominated for his regular volunteer work at The Bridge, on Webb Street in Narre Warren, for the past five years.

The Bridge is well known and respected throughout Casey and Dandenong as a disability support agency of choice for many local individuals and families.

Mr Williams received his certificate from Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon.

“Trevor had a great day, and so did I. We took lots of photos. Trev was pretty chuffed,” The Bridge service coordinator Catherine Dunstan said.

Mr Williams is multi-skilled, warmly supporting adult participants with disabilities to achieve their goals, and also assisting Santa at The Bridge’s recent celebration.

The Bridge welcomes new volunteers as activity assistants at its services in Narre Warren, Berwick, Cranbourne, Dandenong and Noble Park.

Participant numbers are growing with the roll-out of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) in local suburbs.

The Bridge also welcomes work experience and employment opportunities for their keen participants. To find out more you can phone The Bridge on 8710 8555 or go to www.thebridgeinc.org.au.
