The connections we make go a long way to creating a community that is safe, joyful and strong. At Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO), we connect with many people every day – our colleagues, our supporters, the people we help and you!
In this edition of People, we have some wonderful examples of how people connect with each other. Our amazing foodbank volunteers help our community to be connected with each other by helping them meet their basic needs. Our Buddy programme connects young people with their adult buddies, and our new Macara Unit at Ross Home welcomes residents to join our Enliven family.
Happy reading!
