Lover of life, the ever-popular Terry began working at Wesley Mission’s David Morgan Centre just after it opened as a workplace for people with disability 50 years ago. He’s worked on everything, from portable toilets to car care products to packaging pharmaceuticals, and according to supervisor Rick, Terry hasn’t missed a beat.
“What makes the David Morgan Centre really special is its social, supportive community and Terry is just always keen to not only work hard but also have a good time,” says Rick. “He gets on well with everyone, and if you’re having a bad day, you can just look at him and know that he’ll pick you up.”
The David Morgan Centre currently employs around 75 people with disability, giving them a safe and productive environment to work, learn and build social relationships. Unsurprisingly, Terry is not short of friends and says his favourite thing about working there is being with his mates.
“We have barbeques and hot dog days,” says Terry. “Four of us went on a cruise together this year to New Zealand, which was fun and so beautiful.”
Terry is looking forward to marking 50 years with Wesley Mission in January next year. He’s not sure how he’ll celebrate just yet but it’s sure to involve his two favourite things, friends and food.
