Bedford Annual Report 2008 5 PATRon’S MessAGE In my first year as Governor of South Australia, I have been inspired by the number of volunteers and organisations providing services that make a real difference to our community. Bedford is one such organisation. I feel very privileged to be Patron of Bedford, an organisation that is very much a part of South Australia’s social fabric, both past, present and more importantly in the future. I have visited various Bedford sites during the year and continue to be amazed by the inclusive culture and the dedication to supportive work, to learning and to each individual shown by all of those who form part of the Bedford family. I was fortunate enough to attend the annual Bedford Awards Day celebrations this year at the Convention Centre, with over 1,600 other guests. Presenting the Year of Service awards to those who had achieved an amazing 25 or 40 years at Bedford is testament to the continuity and quality of support and innovation at the core of how Bedford works. Over this last year, through merger activity and innovative working practices, Bedford has started addressing regional access to services. People with a disability in Port Pirie, Kadina, Wallaroo, Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier and soon Millicent have increased access to the support and opportunities that were once only available in the metropolitan area. I have been impressed by Bedford’s focus on addressing people’s needs in a caring and supportive environment and I would like to take this opportunity to praise the entire Bedford family on your achievements over the past year. I look forward to your continued success in creating a brighter future for people with a disability or disadvantage in South Australia.
