The Mullumbimby RSL Sub-Branch is delighted to announce the appointment of their new committee members: Stephen Williams, Neville Watts, Narelle Williams, and Helen Bostock.
Each of them brings unique skills and enthusiasm to the sub-branch, and believes they can contribute in the coming months.
Stephen Williams told The Echo, ‘While the Mullumbimby RSL sub-branch is co-located within the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club, it’s important to understand that the sub-branch serves a distinct role’.
Unwavering support for veterans
‘Its primary focus is to provide unwavering support to the veterans of the local community.
‘The services offered by the sub-branch include advocacy services and welfare support, tailored to meet the unique needs of our veterans.
‘One of the greatest challenges faced by veterans after their service is the sense of belonging and acceptance back into civilian life.
‘This period of transition can lead to mental health issues and a feeling of disassociation from family and friends. Acknowledging this, the Mullumbimby RSL Sub-Branch is committed to developing a future activities program aimed at fostering community and connection.
‘Planned activities include lawn bowls, golf, beach-walks, fishing, music and creating pathways into Mullumbimby’s businesses and community groups.
‘We at the Mullum RSL Sub-Branch are continuously seeking new members.
‘Whether you are a service member (ex-military) or an affiliate member (no military background), your participation is invaluable.
‘Together, we can provide the necessary support and camaraderie to those who need it the most.
‘Join us in our mission to support our veterans and contribute to a thriving community’.
Bi-monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month from 4pm at the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club.
