Glenwood donates wheelchair to old age home

GEORGE NEWS - Glenwood House School and LGE Waste joined forces to donate a wheelchair to Rosemoor Old Age Home.

Glenwood House collected 450kg of bottle tops over two years, leading to the sponsorship of a wheelchair by LGE Waste.

This marks the fourth wheelchair obtained through the bottle top collection initiative at Glenwood.

The project is a collaboration between the Landmark Foundation and LGE Waste, where bottle tops are purchased, and wheelchairs are donated.

The effort is driven by the collective involvement of Glenwood Pre-primary, Preparatory, and College, along with supportive parents who contribute by collecting and sending in the bottle tops.
