Congratulations to Peter Lynn on his recent Order of Australia for services to the community through the Uniting Church.
Peter has been an active volunteer in aged care with the Uniting Church NSW Synod since 1978. He served on a number of Boards advocating for seniors who require care, particularly those suffering from frailty, dementia, mental health and loss of means.
Peter formulated financing methods and encouraged good building design to assist those less fortunate to enjoy a comfortable home without discrimination.
Peter, up until December 2010, was actively involved on the Boards of UnitingCare Aging Sydney Region and the War Memorial Hospital in Sydney. His past Board roles have influenced the way that UnitingCare delivers its aged care services.
According to Peter, “It has been rewarding to assist the aged in our community. They have served our country well and have left legacies for us for which we can all be proud. We should provide our elderly with the best of facilities so that they might enjoy the twilight of their years with dignity, security and respect. We owe it to them.”
