24.01.2022 Today we farewelled Lynda Prout at the HCSI Playgroup. Lynda has headed up HCSI for the past 9 years and helped an idea grow into a program that has supported hundreds of local children and families through mentoring, after school programs, and playgroups. We are excited that she will be sharing her gifts with many more people in her new role at Youth Dimension, but she will be greatly missed. Thank you Lynda for your passion and dedication to the local community.
