Bernice McGurk 1970 - 2008
24 January 2008
VSB was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Bernice McGurk.
Bernice was an inspiration to everyone she met. A volunteer for many years, she played an important role in a range of community organisations and was awarded a Peter McLachlan accolade in June 2007 for "Changing Lives through Volunteering" The fact that she was blind and confined to a wheelchair didn't ever hold her back, indeed she actively encouraged other people with disabilities to get involved in volunteering. Bernice's belief was "if you give a little you get a little back" and this is certainly reflected in the many friendships she developed through her voluntary work. She will be remembered with fondness by all at VSB.
