“The words on back labels are so small these days! It is all a blurr!” Thankfully the friendly and professional team from Clicks Circle Centre in Somerset West donated Readwell glasses to our residents at Silver Oaks and Robari Lodge! Happiness! We can now all read the words in our Christmas cards this year! Thank you Ricardo Sebastian and his lovely team from Clicks.

Beaumont Primary School have always had a special relationship with the HSFA and frequent our halls singing in concerts or providing us with flowers. Beaumont provided the HSFA beautiful Christmas Gift Bags full of toiletries and treats. All 620 residents also received BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED cards from the pupils of Beaumont! The gift bags were delivered to those residents who have no family and/or financial support, and the recipients were very grateful for this generosity. Thank you to all the Beaumont families, the Head Boys and Head Girls (Nathan Nissen, Jamie Wege, Klara Korber and Nina van Reenen) as well as Dez Struwig who manages the programme and Dwain Brown, the new Headmaster of Beaumont Primary. It is hard to describe the delight on the faces of our residents who received the gifts. Thank you!
At our Long Service Awards lunch, the HSFA Board and management team recognised the valuable contributions that several of our employees have made to our organisation. The HSFA staff is the core of our organisation and their passion for helping our residents is what makes a difference every day. The awards for 10 years went to Caroline Godfrey, Nombuyiselo Rawusana, Nokuthula Gana and Emma Bailey all from Support Centre and the awards for 15 years went to Freddie Williams from the Facilities Department as well as Xoliswa Fekade, Noluvo Mdemka and Daphne Claasen from the Support Centre. The awards for 20 years went to Lionel Wilson from Human Resources Department, Desire Booysen from Support Centre and Eureka Haefele from Independent Living. Sara Lintnaar from Mountview, who was awarded the certificate for 35 special years of service, gave a beautiful speech and Georgina Arone from the Support Centre, who made the 40-year milestone, was sadly absent but celebrated all the same! Thank you all for your loyalty and dedication to the wellbeing of our residents.
Vonke Dining room was transformed into a fine dining restaurant for a night, for a VIP fundraising/networking dinner.

Members of the legal and tax industries were invited to raise awareness of the HSFA, our activities, our Section 18A status and how HSFA, as an NPO , relies on Bequests and Donations.
