“Many of the people here go over to get their coffee and they’re met with a great smile, a lot of vibrancy, fantastic personalities. You don’t always connect the dots and think, This is a person with a disability. This is a person with a vibrant personality, who understands coffee, who is offering wonderful hospitality,” says David Jack, CEO of TLC Impact.
In this episode of Helping Hands, we join the TLC Impact team in their partnership with Business Chambers South who ran a Job and Skills Expo in the Sutherland Shire attended by more than 450 people earlier this year, and spend time with Salim, a member of the TLC team who serves more than just a cup of coffee!
Laura Cowell, the Australian CEO of TLC Disability Services, says there is room for improvement.
Laura is joined by disability advocate, Dr. Louise Gosbell; and Paralympic silver medalist, Jamieson Leeson in this episode of Helping Hands to discuss how we can better understand the disability sector, and play our part in making the world a better place for people who are living with disability.
Keith Garner, Collett Smart and Nathan Brewer join host Laura Bennett to discuss the benefits of being part of a vibrant and life-giving community to both the community and the individuals.
