I’ve had the absolute privilege of working alongside the GAP team over the past 18 months and what an incredible journey it has been.
The Turtle Back project is a true reflection of what happens when passionate people such as Serena Dalton and Kat Lee have a vision, and bring together a dynamic team of motivated individuals. From early grant planning and submission, to securing funding, shaping the project, building the brand, and bringing programs to life it’s been a fast-paced, challenging, and deeply rewarding experience.
I’m so grateful to have been part of every step of this journey. Watching it all come together is nothing short of inspiring, and I can’t wait to see the impact the Turtle Back Centre will have, supporting the youth in Palmerston in shaping their lives.🌟 🐢
