Hi everyone, last week we farewelled someone very special - Martina, our wonderful art teacher and client facilitator. Martina had been with us for many years and in that time, she brought colour, kindness and laughter into our lives. She encouraged us to to be creative, and always made us smile and laugh with her lovely laugh. We'll miss her warmth, and the way she made every art session feel like a little adventure. Thank you Martina, for everything you've shared with us, you've made a lasting mark on our Centre, with best wishes and gratitude from everyone at PHC.

The clients spent a lovely morning making wooden peg decorations. It took lots of coordination to get them glued in the correct place. The end result is fantastic.

2025 Annual General Meeting Summary – The Paul Hunter Centre

Our recent AGM reflected both gratitude for longstanding contributions and excitement for the future.

• Farewell to Jude: After years of dedicated service, our Chairperson, Jude Henry, officially stepped down. Her leadership has been instrumental in shaping our service, and Jude has not only been our Chairperson, but also a mentor and a true friend to us all. She has helped shaped a community service where people feel seen, heard and valued . We extend heartfelt thanks for Jude's wisdom and unwavering commitment, she will always be part of our PHC family.

• Celebrating Elsie’s Retirement: We also acknowledged the retirement of Elsie Fong, a cherished staff member whose kindness, and sewing skills, have touched many lives. For nearly three decades, Elsie has supported the clients, and we are so grateful while she is stepping back from her staff role, she has joined our wonderful volunteer team.

• Welcoming Dean Hyde as Chairperson: We’re excited to welcome Dean as our new Chairperson. Dean brings a wealth of experience, and a deep commitment to everything that matters to our community. We look forward to his guidance as we continue to strengthen our impact and community partnerships.

• Acknowledging Our Staff and Volunteers: We also took time to thank our incredible staff and volunteers, whose daily efforts uphold the Centre’s values and bring our mission to life. Their dedication, warmth, and teamwork are the heartbeat of our community.
