Coast Shelter rolled out the red carpet on Thursday, March 10, when NSW Governor Margaret Beazley, who is the organisation’s patron, popped in for a visit.
Beazley toured the Gosford headquarters with CEO Michael Starr, staff members and two young clients as she heard about the challenges the organisation has faced and to offer support.
Starr said the Governor’s enthusiasm and encouragement would make a lasting impact on staff and clients alike.
“We look forward to working with her especially this year as it is our 30th anniversary,” he said.
Beazley said the team at Coast Shelter worked tirelessly to support community members confronted with homelessness and domestic violence.
“I am glad to have had this opportunity to come and meet with staff and clients and to thank them for their contribution and courage,” she said.
2022 marks the 3oth anniversary of Coast Shelter.
