Support Wheels in Motion for George Town RSL Veterans’ Health 25 November 2024 # Support Wheels in Motion for George Town RSL Veterans’ Health ![Support Wheels in Motion for George Town RSL Veterans’ Health](https://bellbayaluminium.com.au/volumes/images/News/2024/November/_1335x600_crop_center-center_80_none/30059/support-wheels-in-motion-for-george-town-cropped.webp) Thanks to a contribution of $25,000 from Bell Bay Aluminium, along with$3,000 from the George Town Lions Club the George Town RSL Sub-Branch has been able to purchase a vehicle dedicated to transporting members and their families to medical appointments across the state. Previously, a few dedicated George Town RSL members volunteered their time and personal vehicles to assist veterans. Bell Bay Aluminium General Manager Richard Curtis emphasised the importance of easing the lives of those who have given so much for their country. “We care about people who live in the community in which we operate, and we are proud this contribution will have a positive impact,” Mr. Curtis said. “Our Voqonic Local Voices Survey in 2023 highlighted community dissatisfaction with public transport options in the local area so we wanted to do something to help veterans with transport availability and support them and their families getting to and from medical appointments and supporting their health and wellbeing.” George Town RSL President Max Griffiths acknowledged the significant impact of the contribution. “Many veterans, their family members and carers cannot drive, and buses are not always suitable due to timetables or mobility issues,” Mr. Griffiths said. “This support vehicle will not only ensure our members get to and from their health appointments but will also support veterans attending the Veteran’s Hub once it is established in George Town. We are thankful to have organisations like Bell Bay Aluminium and the George Town Lions Club in our community to assist with this need.” George Town Lions Club Vice President (Projects) Craig Byrne expressed the club’s enthusiasm for supporting this initiative. “Lions has always had the desire and willingness to assist where we can in our local community. We take great pride and pleasure in being part of this venture to assist our veterans and their families in any way we can. By donating towards the cost of this vehicle, we honour our veterans and their service in a small but meaningful way,” Mr. Byrne said. **Media Opportunity** George Town RSL Sub-Branch Monday, 25 November 2024, 11am **For further information, please contact:** Rochelle Galloway, Advisor, Communities & Communications, Bell Bay Aluminium Mobile: 0419 999 383 Share: ##### Archives 2025 June -
