Saint Giles has always believed that if we

invest in our staff, then we invest in our

business. Jay Iyavoo and Jason Van-Es of

CCI-GrowthCon, a company that does sustain-

able performance improvement were called

on to impart their knowledge at a training

session with our Work CentreTeam Leaders

& Supervisors.

Anne Slade, daughter of

Sport Slade, the founder of

the Saint Giles “Sport Slade

Remedial Gymnasium”,

pleasantly surprised us

with a visit in December.

She was gobsmacked at

how much the gym has

flourished over the past few

years but was also mindful

of the great work done by

our team. Anne thanked everyone for their dedica"on & unwavering

commitment to making a difference in the lives of the disabled.

If you would like to make a difference or know any company or body

that would like to take the gym on as their personal project for 2018,

contact Terry Rennie or Brenda Craig on 031 337 4404 for more

Informa"on on this amazing opportunity.

Saint Giles extends their heartfelt thanks to

Unilever—Lalitha Hoover, representing the Procure-

ment department handed over 3 brand new wheel-

chairs to Brenda Craig from our Marketing depart-

ment. These wheelchairs were part of a team build

event that they had. The wheelchairs will truly come

in handy for those less fortunate, disabled individuals

in our community. Kindly note that Saint Giles also

hires out wheelchairs to the public at very affordable

rates.

More information can be

obtained from Lorraine or

Tim on 031 337 4404.

In lieu of International Disabilities Awareness Day being on

Sunday, 3rd December, Saint Giles celebrated it in the Gym on

Monday, 4th December with special guests, mother & son

Caroline Mardon and Stephen. Caroline read her short story that

was published in the book “Voices of Disability”. Patients were

also treated to a talk by amputee, Mfundo Shozi.

An inspirational morning was had by all present.
