HELLO FROM MIEKE

Another year has been and gone, and at the Winsome we continue doing what we love best, offering hope and support to our friends who struggle daily just to exist.

As I write this morning, there is a deep frost in the paddock outside my window, and I know that there are rough sleepers stepping out of their tents , and into this cold and frost. Thank God they can go to breakfast at the Red Dove , which has been a strong partnership between the Winsome and the Uniting Church for over twenty years! My thanks as always to the small group of committed volunteers who ensure breakfast is on the table 4 mornings a week.

The Lismore Soup Kitchen at the Winsome continues to power on.

One evening last week, at Casino Railway Station, I happened upon a long term Winsome attendee who was returning from a six month holiday down south. His warm and enthusiastic greeting and eagerness to return to the Winsome the following day was like a homecoming to him.

A Winsome Resident’s Thoughts

I have lived at the Winsome for 18 months. The Winsome has given me the opportunity to get back on my feet.

The Winsome provides the people with a doctor, Centrelink, Legal Aid, nurses and a homeless persons’ outreach worker from St Vincent de Paul. My health has picked up through the help of these people.

The meals provided are always tasty and filling, no one should leave here hungry. This place is run by volunteers. I volunteer 2 days a week and it has helped me to learn some people skills through the help of the day staff and all the dedicated people working at the Winsome.

This place is a must, both for the people who live here, and those who come here regularly for a meal, and to enjoy community.

This is a comfortable and safe place to come to.

 From Paul Murphy

The continuing and growing success of the Lismore Soup Kitchen at the Winsome is due to the dedication and commitment of all its volunteers. On behalf of the Winsome Management Team, I congratulate and thank them all for a job well done. The Winsome is now recognised as the Hub for connecting service providers with their clientele, for being the venue for service clubs fund raising dinners, choir practices, men’s and ladies groups and the One in Christ Fellowship on Sunday mornings. And the Soupies connect at the Winsome daily.
