Introducing the Guest Support Coordinators
Soul is incredibly excited to announce the appointment of John, Martin & Mark who will join Mary and Sue in our newly established role of ‘Guest Support Coordinators’.
The GSC’s role will focus on supporting Soul guests in 3 ways:
Meet John: John has been volunteering at Soul since 2020. Having first arrived in Australia in 2015, he and his wife Linda are hoping to make Australia their home as their two sons, partners and three grandchildren are now residents. John loves meeting and chatting to our Soul guests and is now actively involved in our SMART Recovery and Coaching programs.
Meet Mark: Mark enjoys being part of an inclusive space where individuals feel valued, safe and heard. Mark hopes that everyone who walks through the door feels welcomed and may step into some calm in their day. In his other activity as a PhD researcher his aim is to narrow the gap between the theory and practice of how people care and relate to each other.
This incredible new initiative will positively impact countless lives and increases the amount of face-to-face referral and advocacy work with some of Newcastle’s most vulnerable people.
