The Place Welcomes a New Leader
Over the last few months, The Place has been in a time of transition. We are pleased to announce that Cristelle Govender has assumed the role of Centre Manager at The Place: Charlestown Community Centre.
Cristelle has experience in communication, fundraising, marketing, and community development, with many years worked in the not for profit sector. She has spent the last 3 years as a member of The Place’s leadership team, as the Programs and Marketing Coordinator.
“I am excited and look forward to the continued evolution of The Place as we work to grow and better serve our community.”
Facilitated by People With Disability Australia (PWDA)
The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
