William “John” Morse was presented as a Finalist in the Life Activities Clubs Victoria Senior Achievement Award at the 2019 Victorian Regional Achievement and Community Awards Gala Presentation Dinner held at Flemington Racecourse on Friday 11th October.

John is helping male elders find their sense of purpose. He left his engineering work and decided to use his skills to support male residents of the Riverside unit of Lyndoch Living. John then established and now manages as a volunteer the Lyndoch Living’s Lego Club, which brings male residents together to team-build complex constructions, improve social integration and maintain brain function and motor skills. They have constructed at least 15 Lego Technique models so far. The Club hopes to alleviate feelings of helplessness and amplify an inner sense of purpose for male elders.

Lyndoch Living was also acknowledged as a Semi Finalist in the Prime Super Employer Excellence in Aged Care Award, and Stephen Grigson, Social Inclusion and Entrepreneurial Manager, accepted the certificate presented by Ms Danielle Green Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria; Parliamentary Secretary for Sport, representing The Hon Jaclyn Symes, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Resources.

Pure Living Hair & Beauty Salon was also acknowledged as a Semi Finalist in the Regional Development Victoria Business Achievement Award.
