Community hub receives local hero award
One of Australia’s largest logistics and transport infrastructure companies, Downer Corporation, has recognised weExplore Wellness Centre with its Local Hero Award and a $A5000 donation.
Based in Melbourne and operated by Gateway Adventist Centre, weExplore Wellness Centre is a growing community hub championing holistic health and mental wellbeing.
The award ceremony, held at the centre, was attended by representatives from Downer, including Peter Bertus, general manager of finance and business performance, who presented the cheque to weExplore president Johnny Wong.
“Downer recognises that weExplore Wellness promotes holistic health and mental wellbeing through inclusive workshops and support programs,” Mr Bertus said. “We appreciate how the centre empowers individuals to lead purpose-driven lives, offering tools and encouragement in a nurturing, community-focused environment.”
During the cheque presentation ceremony, Downer staff learned why Seventh-day Adventist are considered a “blue zone people”—known for their longevity and lifestyle principles.
The centre offers a range of services, including mental health courses, counselling and health coaching.
