To the amazing Support Team at PTBL. Thank you for giving your all during the recent restrictions, Stay at Home Orders and border closures. You are what makes PTBL special – going that extra mile to support our valued participants! We Recognize You!
Monthly Newsletter - September 2021
I would like to thank you all for your support to myself and my family during this time. I have received many cards and messages of support and I would like to acknowledge them all individually. At this point I have come back to PTBL in a limited capacity and am slowly getting stronger and look forward to being able to contact each and every one of you. Thank you for your continued patience with me. Please all stay safe during these challenging times. – Much Love Katie

Here we are in the last month of Winter and all still living with the rules and regulations imposed by the current Covid pandemic. The Gold Coast has been placed in lockdown as of yesterday. Queensland residents should make yourselves aware of what you can and can’t do during this lockdown.
Supports will continue wherever possible and if there are any shift cancellations, as a result of this lockdown, you will be notified as soon as possible.

This has been the saddest of times for all of us in the Pathways community. We lost a wonderful support worker, Katie’s eldest son Charlie, who passed away suddenly on June 14th due to an aneurysm.
Thank you all so much for your condolences. We have been overwhelmed with messages of love and support but most importantly, we would like to thank you for respecting Katie’s request for privacy for her and her family at this time.
Katie is taking some much needed time away from Pathways at the moment, however, we all know Katie and know she will be back amongst us sooner rather than later.

Winter is here for another year……probably without the snow but it’s still a great time for hot chocolate, jumpers & cosy blankets.
Stay warm……
