Germiston-based company CT Hydraulics believes in an holistic approach to community outreach programmes.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the company\u2019s social development committee recently began the process of interviewing local charities.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Four charities, which are in line with the scope, outlook and integrity that CT Hydraulics holds dear, were chosen, and Rest-a-While Service Centre for the Elderly was one of them.<\/p>\n

The company stated, \u201cWe believe no man is an island, and therefore CT Hydraulics has chosen to reach out to the community by partnering with the goodhearted, enthusiastic board members of Rest-A-While, who are ready to make the lasting change that is needed in the Germiston local community.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Though Rest-A-While already had outreach programmes in place, the team were open to suggestions to integrate and accommodate CT Hydraulics\u2019 vision in bringing about lasting transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cA team from the company spent a day with us recently,\u201d said centre manager Trudy Carreira.<\/p>\n

The team taught an enthusiastic group of members how to make herbal heat packs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe members had such a great morning,\u201d said Trudy.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitiatives like this enable our members to find their self-worth within the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
