We've been awarded winners of the 'Outstanding Community Organisation’ category and we couldn’t be prouder!
The Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards recognise and highlight local business achievements and celebrate business accomplishments in our City. These prestigious awards acknowledge a wide range of amazing businesses and we’re honoured to be chosen alongside them.
This award is even more special for us, considering the challenging times we’ve all experienced over the past year. We’re really proud that we’ve continued to serve our community through the challenges of COVID-19 and shown our commitment to our mission -
‘to welcome and support a diverse community to meet, connect, belong and grow.’
Winners of the awards progress to the Hunter Business Awards evening in August and the team at The Place are very excited to celebrate this achievement. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, what fabulous businesses we have in Lake Mac!
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.
