Nulsen News

On behalf of everyone at Nulsen, we wish you all a very happy Easter and hope you enjoy the long weekend! 🐰

Residents and staff were definitely getting into the Easter spirit this week thanks to our corporate partners at ATCO Gas Australia!

The guys worked with ATCO staff in the ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen to bake and decorate Easter cookies and treats with help from chef Dale 🐰 What a way to start the Easter break!

Special thanks to our dedicated partners at ATCO for their incredible ongoing support!

It may have been wet outside, but that didn't stop us from giving a big, warm 'Nulsen' welcome to residents, family members and employees who have recently joined Nulsen in their Nollamara homes.

CEO Gordon Trewern said a few words to open the event and officially welcome everyone. They also unveiled a garden fountain, donated in loving memory of Elaine and Ray Sharp who helped set up the homes over two decades ago.

VOTE FOR RUTH 📮

Do you remember the Nulsen Op Shop on Albany Highway in Victoria Park? If you were lucky enough to visit, you would have met Ruth.

Ruth was part of a pioneering team that opened the Op Shop. It was a bustling, thriving and important place for Nulsen, and Ruth was the glue that held it all together.

Ruth worked tirelessly sorting stock and arranging the weekly roster of dedicated volunteers ensuring coverage was always available and if not, stepping in to cover the gaps. It’s success was unimaginable, raising funds, AND creating awareness of disability.

This is just one of the many reasons Ruth has been nominated for the Volunteering WA People's Choice 'Spirit of Volunteering' Award.

The house was alive with the sound of Mamma Mia, ABBA and Elvis when the ladies from Methodist Ladies' College came by to visit the lads at Crocker, Innaloo. The guys had a great time together for their first visit singing along to Colin’s favourite music, painting and even shooting a few hoops in the backyard. Thanks for coming ladies, the guys look forward to the next visit!
