Attwood Marshall Lawyers’ Accredited Aged Care Professional and Paralegal Bindy Marshall appeared live on Channel Seven Sunrise to talk about the Aged Care We Care Appeal.
Saturday 14 December 2024
The holiday season is a time to show compassion, care and support – especially to those who might otherwise not receive a gift. The Aged Care We Care Appeal has embodied this spirit for the past nine years.
Each Christmas, Bindy Marshall, supported by Attwood Marshall Lawyers and a network of local businesses and organisations, collects and delivers gifts to the ‘forgotten elderly’ who have nobody to visit them at Christmas.
What began as a small gesture to several local aged care facilities nine years ago, has grown into a remarkable initiative. This year, 51 facilities, including 5 hospitals, participated, and an incredible 1,190 aged care residents received personalised, wrapped gifts – spreading joy to so many.
Bindy personally wrapped the presents from her home, with the help of her daughter Sienna, husband Bruce, and an army of volunteers from the aged care sector and the Girl Guides.
Bindy is the founder and chairperson of the Gold Coast Seniors Round Table, a forum of around 300 Aged Care industry professionals who come together each month to discuss how to improve the aged care and retirement living sectors.
