SunRise Road NPC recently celebrated a significant milestone—10 years of serving the community through its trauma centre at the Garsfontein police station. This heartfelt celebration took place at the beautiful Safari Garden centre, offering a serene and fitting backdrop for such a momentous occasion.
Founded with the mission to provide trauma support to victims of crime and emergencies, the trauma centre has become a beacon of hope and healing over the past decade. The anniversary event saw many familiar faces from the early days of SunRise, as several founding members and previous board members joined in the festivities, reflecting on the centre’s impactful journey. These pioneers played a critical role in shaping the centre into what it is today—a safe space where individuals and families find solace in times of crisis.
The atmosphere at the event was warm and nostalgic, with Collette, a key leader in SunRise, taking the stage to express her heartfelt gratitude to the many individuals and organizations who have supported the centre’s work. In a special address, she thanked the sponsors who have continuously stood by the trauma centre, providing crucial financial and resource support over the past 10 years. Without these partnerships, the centre’s life-changing services would not have been possible.
Collette’s speech was a reminder of the collaborative spirit that has been a cornerstone of SunRise’s work from the very beginning. She highlighted how the trauma centre has grown not only through the dedication of its staff and volunteers but also through the unwavering backing of sponsors and community partners. Their contributions have allowed SunRise to expand its reach, offering counselling, emergency assistance, and psychological support to those who need it most.
The event was a celebration of the countless lives touched by the trauma centre and a hopeful look toward the future. With plans to continue growing and evolving its services, SunRise Road NPC remains committed to bringing light into the lives of those affected by trauma.
The 10-year anniversary was more than just a birthday celebration—it was a testament to the power of community, compassion, and shared purpose. Here’s to the next decade of healing and hope at SunRise Road NPC!
