Meet a Cockburn Volunteer |
|
Richard and Theresa Pradella are respected, inspiring and valued volunteers at the City of Cockburn Seniors Centre.
You will find them helping to set up and pack down seniors’ events, and escorting and assisting members on outings. Artwork, pictures and paintings are part of what makes the Senior Centre a warm and vibrant place, and they lend a hand to perfectly place each one.
Richard and Theresa are often first to put their hand up to help members, staff and other volunteers at the Centre where they are renowned for their patience and kindness. They were both jointly awarded Cockburn Seniors Volunteer of the year and Richard recently received the Community Citizen of the Year 2021 - Senior.
Thank you Richard and Theresa for all that you do in the Cockburn Community.
