Southern Pride March 2022
On 5 March, a team from Resthaven headed down to coastal Christies Beach, to set up their Southern Pride March stall in celebration of the older LGBTIQA+ community.
Coordinator Onkaparinga Community Services, Jodi Brabon, says, ‘The park was filled with market stalls, and a band who kept us all entertained – we are thankful for those who came in support of Pride Day.’
The sunny weather drew in an impressive crowd.
‘We had a lot of people join us to learn more about Resthaven’s services, and staff and clients who stumbled upon us as well!’
‘It was wonderful to meet so many who live down this way – we have a fantastic client base here, who appreciate what we are doing for their community.’
Resthaven’s stall even attracted those looking for employment opportunities.
‘Although this wasn’t a recruitment drive, we had a lot of people come up to us and express their interest in working with us.’
‘It is great to see that Resthaven’s inclusivity is attracting a lot of our future workforce.’
‘Many positive comments were made throughout the day – a great excuse to all get together and enjoy each other’s individuality!’
