Lachlan is Volunteer Construction Manager at the Forever Friends Animal Rehabilitation Sanctuary and has been for the last twelve months. Lachlan threw away his job security and annual paycheck to contribute to FFAR by taking over the construction of their Rehabilitation Kennels, Cattery, and Stables, as well as the building and maintenance of other structures at their Sanctuary.
The judges said that Lachlan’s personal contribution goes above and beyond. To leave behind a well-paid job to volunteer for six days a week suggests altruism of the purest kind. His patience, problem-solving skills, and ability to collaborate effectively with other volunteers, tradies, council officers, etc are impressive.
