Late in 2016, two rooms in Church House at 2a MacMillan Avenue, Cashmere, became available. The basement has not been the most healthy for long-term occupation and we seized the chance to move into sunlit rooms with a view but still on the same site. We move in on 1st February 2017. Not far in terms of distance, but the stairs will be a bit of a challenge for lifting in the heavier items of furniture and volunteers are welcome to assist!
The outlook for 2017 is very exciting, both with the development of New Zealand's first ever all-Aspie Conference, and with the prospect of our becoming a training provider, for people who work with folk on the Autism Spectrum. We love doing this work as general levels of knowledge and understanding are low and people become fascinated as we expound on our favourite subject!
With an extra day in our working week, we will achieve even more. Following on the Government's requirement (foreshaowed), Leith is pursuing Registration as a qualified Social Worker, and Julie has embarked on a course in Psychology and Counselling with to gain an associated qualification. This then "requires" that we should at last receive a proper wage for our work and a recognition of our professional status and expertise.
