Across two Club working bees on 27th March and 6th April plus additional hours volunteered by individual members - the Breathing Space Units in Conyers Street now have an outdoor area for residents to enjoy.
Piles of roof tiles and bricks have sat on the section since the units arrived in Conyers Street creating issues for lawn mowing. After some re-imagining conversations progressed into action, the tiles and bricks have now been repurposed.
Thanks to Helen C for organising the working bees and to the members who helped out with moving roof tiles for future use by the section owner.
DG Dave joined the crew in Conyers Street on Sunday 6th April and installed some hand rails for the units.
An afternoon tea of pikelets with cream and home made custard square was enjoyed in the sun.
Corner of section before people of action New outdoor "Breathing Space" area created
The Breathing Space Southland Charitable Trust (BSSCT) are now looking to commence fundraising for an outdoor table to go on the new outdoor space.
The units in Conyers Street have been established for the use of Breathing Space Southland Charitable Trust (BSSCT) for temporary accommodation for clients who meet the Trust's referral criteria.
The units project was a follow on Rotary project following the sale of the Rotary Dream Home in 2018. A committee made up of representatives of each Rotary Club have been working on the unit project over the recent years. The units are almost complete awaiting final sign off from the Council.
