Congratulations to Chad Sherrin on being recognised as Volunteer of the Year at the Volunteer Redlands Community Celebration 👏💙
Chad has dedicated 35 years to volunteering with Legacy Brisbane as a Legatee, supporting veterans’ families through some of life’s most challenging moments. During that time, he has supported up to 150 widows and eight Legacy children at any one time, and is estimated to have supported close to 500 widows throughout his service.
As a Legatee, Chad provides emotional and social support to veterans’ families, advocates for veterans and widows as a qualified and experienced ATDP Advocate, mentors young people, coordinates community initiatives across the Redlands community, organises the annual Nonagenarian Morning Tea for elderly widows and has also contributed to volunteer training within Legacy, helping prepare Legatees for the important roles they undertake supporting families.
Thank you, Chad, for your decades of compassion, service and dedication to veterans’ families. This recognition is so well deserved 💙
Thank you also to Volunteering Redlands and STAR Community Services for hosting the celebration.
