During the reporting period the charity supported the following: 1. The first application was received on 1May21 and reported last year. The Trustees approved $1365 to cover the cost of a driving program sought by a grandmother for her Indigenous grandson to gain 75 hours of driving under supervision to obtain his driver s licence. The grandson registered for the Wheels in Motion Forum organised by the Rotary Club of Gawler Light on 17Jan22 but failed to turn up. The grandmother then advised that the grandson had left her household and went back to live with his parents. The Trustees approved an extension of the available support until 31Dec22 however the grandson failed to avail himself of the offered support. 2. The second submission was received, on behalf of a client, from a NDIS Provider. This organisation supports the 59 year old person and assists him to understand and help manage his NDIS funding. He has a diagnosed psychosocial disability which impacts his every day life and his mental health. He also has Bells Palsy, mobility issues and cannot walk long distances, feels dizzy, and can fall out of bed or walk into walls. These symptoms are not usually related to his psychosocial disability and he has always suspected there is something else wrong. His psychiatrist and psychologist suggested he may have an acquired brain injury as a result of a diving accident many years ago. The preliminary assessment indicated this is likely. However, it is a requirement of the NDIS that a disability is not recognised until it is formally diagnosed. This process would require the client to see a Neuropsychologist, and undertake an MRI. The wait to see a publicly funded Clinical Neuropsychologist was over two years whereas an appointment to see a private Clinical Neuropsychologist was possible in March 2022. The client could not afford the $1320 to see a private specialist. With an official diagnosis, the NDIS would consider funding to purchase a scooter, electric bed, a walker and increase his funding for inhome support. The Tustees approved the application allowing the client to be assessed in Mar22. The extensive report provided a new roadmap to recovery and quality of life with many suggestions for the client to try that he previously hadn t considered. 3. The third application concerned a yard cleanup which occurred on Friday 21Nov22. The Department of Child Protection approached the Foundation on behalf of a single mother of six to help cleanup a very derelict and overgrown large backyard which was littered with garbage. Six members of the Rotary Club of Gawler Light were organised and spent 20 hours on the cleanup. Overall expenditure by the Foundation was $0.
