Chairpersons Report from the latest Annual report
I remember listening to a couple of testimonies from our ‘brothers’ at our last year’s Christmas function and thinking, “how good is this”. I whispered to my wife, “this is why I am committed to PCM”.
As you know we at PCM are committed to operate from a Christian worldview. We believe that the spiritual component we offer is an essential aspect for not only the successful re-integration of our clients but their journey toward healing.
Our funding continues to be a challenge not helped by the fact that the MSD cut (without an adequate explanation) the full disability ‘benefit’ payment to our clients that previously helped toward meeting the costs of our services. As I write we continue to challenge this decision. To be honest it is one of the more frustrating aspects of our work. On the one hand MSD recognise the good work we do but on the other they have cut back on payments. Going forward we will look at exploring the idea of negotiating a contract with the Corrections Dept.
I would like to commend this Annual Report to you and in doing so thank my fellow Board members and all the staff for another year of outstanding service. Our staff are a group of very dedicated and skilled people who go beyond the ‘call of duty’.
Finally, thank you to all our volunteers who donate their time and money. We are extremely grateful.
