IT was gratifying to read Richard Dixon's letter about the work PACY are doing cleaning the city's footpaths of gum (June 30).
Having worked at Carecent for several years supporting the homeless, I have always believed that most of the clients would willingly offer society time and effort if this could be organised for them. They are not all spongers and layabouts as many people believe.
Next time you are passing the PACY team, give them a word of encouragement; they are trying to put their lives back into some sort of order.
