CHAINBREAKERS SHED - Telopea Church of Christ
After many years of hard work the ChainBreakers Shed is finally on site at Telopea. After various delays the Shed officially opened September 2009. Praise God!!
The Shed is a project for men (ex prisoners) who reside in the Telopea area. The Shed provides a safe space to learn skills and develop relationships in a non-threatening environment.
Paul Leary the Project Coordinator writes& I was contacted by a service users' parole officer who asked me how I thought her client was going at the Shed. I told her that he always turned up, was always on time and engaged in the activities in a positive way! She informed me that this had been the longest time that he had managed to stay out of trouble and abstained from his drug of choice. When talking to him the other day at smoko, I asked him if he enjoyed coming to the Shed. He said that he loved it and that it made him feel good about himself. He could walk away from the day knowing that he contributed to something worthwhile.
