Baptistcare David Buttfield Centre resident Des Gilbert is doing his part for the environment while also raising money for a significant cause.
Des Gilbert is among the thousands of West Aussies who have started to collect and deposit their recyclables for the Containers for Change initiative.
He wants to raise a massive $15,000 for a state-of-the-art Tovertafel, for the seniors who share his home at Baptistcare David Buttfield Centre Residential Care.
The Tovertafel or ‘magic table’, is a high-quality ceiling projector which beams light animations onto a table below and was developed in the Netherlands for people with cognitive challenges.
“Not only are we doing our part for the environment by preventing these containers from ending up in landfill, but we are also raising money for a significant cause,” said Des.
“Giving back to the DBC Therapy Department is important to me since they do so much for the residents here who are journeying with dementia.”
The fundraising bug is catching on at DBC with other residents and employees now contributing ideas to help the facility reach its $15k goal.
