Quietly Achieving
Written by Leroy for The Changing Times
Do we as a community know much or little about ‘’The Braidwood Life Centre ‘’ ? I confess after 6 years living in Braidwood I knew little until they recently engaged my services .
I met with the group over a lunch at the centre , everyone had pitched in with a dish or two ,smiles and welcomes echoed through the room ,it could well be the best ‘’feel good ‘’ experience I’ve had in Braidwood .
The BLC is progressing with a fantastic initiative , an Emergency accommodation shelter in Braidwood town , the demountable building was acquired from the recent Braidwood hospital demolition , local trades facilitated it’s relocation to a site nearby ,a mammoth task well done. With determination in hand , the BLC team set out for funding , yet another mammoth task well done ,and grant money has been allocated to the renovation , bringing the dwelling up to council requirements , part of the brief was to give the building and surrounds a welcoming home like feel , Australiana style stairs balustrade and Wheel chair access was added , a warm colour to the exterior , earthworks drainage ,car spaces , fresh interior paint , and a brand new kitchen /laundry installed , plumbing is well under way and electricals are pending , let’s hope the shelter can be up and running ASAP , the Centre runs solely on donations and volunteer work , so if you’re passing by maybe drop in a donation ,or look them up on Facebook , or simply drop in for a cuppa to thank this selfless wonderful group of people for their work
