2021 Allevia Annual Report

To cover the significant gap caused
by Libby’s unexpected departure, Allevia
engaged the services of Wayne Zahra
and Michael Liamakeros from the Mindtree
Collective to provide these critical
services. In 2021, CoVID-19 restrictions
have made face-to-face supports and
training quite challenging in this space,
however we have continued to provide
the necessary training and support for
the implementation of plans. We are all
looking to more hands-on training for the
implementation of plans in 2021/22 now
everyone is vaccinated.
Community Supports in One Village: The
One Village services have for many years
been a star performer in Allevia’s service
offerings. Its ability to be flexible and
support people in a variety of different
settings, at different times of the day, and
days of the week, has made for a winning
combination. Elevate, the centre-based
weekday service has given so many people
an opportunity to gain life skills, socialize
with peers, access their community, and
contribute as valued members.
It has been a great concern that these
valued services have been significantly
affected by the very necessary COVID-19
restrictions in our regions. Allevia and the
One Village team have worked tirelessly
to do all they can to provide continued
service and supports. So many of the
people we support struggle to understand
the reason their world has changed so
drastically.
Like a Phoenix, Allevia’s One Village
services will rise from the ashes of
COVID-19 to be bigger and better in the
coming years. Building on the modest
enhancements of previous years, Allevia
is committed to delivering the service
people want including quality weekday
