Being a Local Team Leader (LTL) for RRT is an amazing privilege and our team get to meet and serve some lovely people. Whether it is caring for a young person who is struggling with the realities of live, serving a tired, weary emergency services worker as they grab a break before re-joining the front line, providing for homeless folk who are just glad of a bit of warm food and the comfort of a ready ear and a smile or supporting those who are afflicted with ill health or disability, where every minute is a fight for survival, it is lovely to see a smile, share a bit of joy, see a flicker of relief on the faces of those we are serving knowing that this support is giving them a brief glimpse of hope, relief, warmth before the realities of day to day survival kick back in again.
