Support worker Savannah Milligan has taken one of her clients to Jamaica Blue at Sydney Street Markets a couple of times and each time they have been met with a rapturous reception.
Savannah provides mental health support for clients by assisting them in the community.
“With my client, specifically with Jamaica Blue, she just loves how kind they are,” said Savannah.
“They’re the first ones to say hello.
“Especially with my client, she can be a bit daunting and some people do stare, but the guys at Jamaica Blue, especially the lady, I don’t know her name but my client calls her Boss Lady, she always comes out, gives her a hug, chats with her, knows her order.
“Those who have mental health issues and disabilities in general, that kind of stuff means the world to them.”
As well as providing friendly, incredible service, the team at Jamaica Blue has “paid it forward” by giving Savannah’s client a piece of raisin toast with her order.
“They don’t have to do that, but they do.
“It’s just really kind and it makes my job even nicer to see that there are people out there who are kind and who get it.
“Not many people do get it.”
Savannah says this isn’t an isolated case.
“I just watched how they engaged with everybody else.
“I think it’s just a general thing that all the staff there are just kind and I just love that, I think there needs to be more of that.
“They’re doing such a great job and people like that are really valued in the community.”
