Charles Chambers Court residents put on their blue suede shoes

Residents of Mission Australia’s Charles Chambers Court in Sydney’s inner city celebrated the life and music of Elvis Presley this week, attending a themed lunch in honour of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Jill Bicknell, Mission Australia’s Aged Care Operations Manager said all the residents attended the lunch and had a fantastic time.

“Staff, residents and our volunteers really enjoyed the day, but none more so than one of our residents who performed his Elvis impression for over an hour.

“The same resident normally frequents the local hotel by 10am each morning, however on Tuesday he stayed for the event and entertained everyone. He had the time of his life,” said Jill.

A big thank you to the seven volunteers from PwC who kindly provided lunch on the day and also gave away seven lucky door prizes.

Charles Chambers Court, Mission Australia’s award-winning service for Sydney’s aged homeless, provides high-quality accommodation and personal care, enabling an independent lifestyle.

Mission Australia is currently building a new facility in nearby Redfern, which aims to address the increasing need for permanent accommodation for the city’s aged homeless.
