Volunteering is a family affair at the NSW SES Parramatta Unit, with three father and children teams sharing more than just their surname! 🧡
George Jeffreys, Thong Phabmixay and Scott Lloyd are all sharing their passion for helping others with their kids.
After nearly 30 years at the SES, George's most treasured achievement hasn't been the jobs he's responded to, but seeing his children Mack, Zari and Tahlia join him as volunteers after spending their lives around the unit.
“you do have that moment when you see them climbing up on the ladder and getting on the roof and you’re like “that’s my girl!” He said.
Similarly for Thong, he was thrilled when his daughter Tiana decided to volunteer alongside him last year, describing it as one of his proudest moments.
“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bring a tear to me eye!” Thong said.
For Scott Lloyd, his daughter Lauren was inspired by his efforts and joined when she turned 16.
“I’ve always wanted to be out helping people and getting to hear what dad did during different incidents made me want to be part of that too,” she said.
All three dads have loved seeing their daughters follow in their footsteps by joining the orange family. Across the state, many father and child duos turn up each week to train and help protect their local communities.
We hope all of our SES fathers are enjoying their special day of celebration and thank them for all that they do for NSW 🙏
