Hey Guys.
Just wanted to say thanks for the support from those on here who have been involved with or supported BADD over the years.
Although there is much more that could be done, it is the end of the road for me and time to pass the ball on.
I feel like I let people down, but you can only do this sort of thing for so long, before it's time to Shutup shop.
It is a shame, the Charity and Inc Society were setup pretty basic, so there's loads of potential - we have never applied for Govt funding, although received backing through educational platforms.
We have survived on donations, more so on donations of skills and time and marketing principals, there was no membership platform created, all to keep things very simple, otherwise I'd have had to employ admin.
I did have someone lined up to take over as spokesperson, but that's not going to happen, so unfortunately it's looking like things will have to wind down, if I want to continue to move forward I accept this needs to be done.
Which I have some plans in place to do so.
It's been a long time coming, but I've had commitments to honour and see through, I also needed to feel assured I was able to do as much as I possibly could.
The largest goal was set as a 'short term' 4 year plan, it's gone fairly quickly and I'll be finishing up just under the time frame I set.
I have absolutely enjoyed what I do (despite how the journey began) at times there have been extreme challenges to rise to and I was way beyond my comfort zone as a non-academic. I nearly gave up a few times, but I do love adrenaline.:rolleyes:
I enjoyed working with many great, focussed people, who weren't afraid to standup and be counted.
This platform has been involved in legislative changes - which go through this year, we fought and won battles, lost battles, highlighted loop-holes and educated many.
As an aside I will still be mildly involved with local happenings, but my main thrust is to get going with personal plans.
There are too many to thank here individually, and I fear I'd miss some-one or an entity. I'll do that personally.
So thanks again, on behalf of my board members and myself, I extend humbled and heartfelt gratitude, sincere thanks that when the call for help went out, so many answered.
