Visit of Netty Horton

This week we were priviliged to welcome Netty Horton, The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory's Territorial Social Program Director, to Marion. Netty was accompanied by our Assistant Social Program Secretary, Major Sue Wallace, and our Social Policy Advisor, Andrew Elvin.

The purpose of Netty's visit was to continue her familiarisation with the social services provided by The Salvation Army in South Australia. We were able to speak to her about the incredible growth in our service delivery at Marion - now reaching over 4500 'client episodes' per year. We were also able to speak to three important issues for us: the diversification of our social service, the perennial funding issue and most importantly, the integration of all of our services to achieve our primary mission: shining God's light in Adelaide's south.

There has already been some good leads to come out of the conversation, as to where we can take our services next. Watch this space!
