New Year Message from the Director.

I would like to wish all of our website viewers a very Happy New Year. I hope that 2010 will be a really good year for you and your family. The past year has been difficult for many individuals and families at personal levels and also because of pressures from the recession. Unemployment is particularly difficult and we can only hope that the national trend will be turned around at some stage during 2010. A new year is also a time of new beginnings. Perhaps this year we can become more conscious of looking out for each other more. Many people in our community feel lonely and isolated and it would be great if we could reach out a little more to support those around us.

If only once each day we spoke with somebody whom we wouldn't routinely speak with then I believe that could make a real difference to many peoples lives. Sometimes the world's problems seem so vast that we can become discouraged even in our own small circle of life. There is a lot we can't do but much we can. So let's try to be as open as we can to taking that extra step to engage with people in all the different parts of our lives.
