A Rug From One Kind Community Member To Another

Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre (BNC) has done what it does best, and that’s bringing people together.

A familiar face at BNC, Malcolm has been coming into the Centre for quite a while where he utilises the services of the CPL team based in the Centre.  

Malcolm will always make a point of coming in and chatting to the rest of the BNC staff and, in doing so, gets an insight into the other activities and services in the Centre.  

Recently, Malcolm expressed his desire to have a special rug created by the talented members of the BNC Crochet Group.

Michelle, a dedicated member of the group, immediately volunteered to take on the project.

Michelle decided not only to create the rug but to donate it to Malcolm as a token of her appreciation for his support and presence in the community.

Malcolm returned to the Centre to pass on a thank you to Michelle on a Monday, which happens to be Crochet Afternoon, creating a serendipitous opportunity for him to meet Michelle in person and express his gratitude.

The community members coming together to support one another exemplifies the true spirit of unity and generosity that the Centre fosters.
