Retirement Village’s Thoughtful Donation

A small group of thoughtful, committed citizens has played their part in changing the world and contributing to the excellent work of RACQ CQ Rescue.

RACQ CQ Rescue was very humbled to welcome representatives from Carlyle Gardens Retirement Village this week to visit their hangar and hear about the lifesaving work they do.

These passionate citizens also came with a gift, donating $5,000 to RACQ CQ Rescue’s vital rescue helicopter service which had been raised throughout the village.

“Unfortunately, we are all vulnerable to unexpected injury or illness – you just never know when you or your loved ones will need help,” RACQ CQ Rescue wrote on Facebook.

“Those who share the burden of responsibility and assist others to overcome these obstacles must be applauded and acknowledged.

“Thank you to the wonderful residents of the village for your ongoing incredible support of our service.

“Today you’re helping make an enormous difference to this community and to all those who live, work and visit our region.

“We are incredibly proud to be a lifeline when it’s really needed most.”
