Antique church pew refurbished for Malanda
AN antique church pew has been repurposed, giving Malanda residents a new comfy place to sit when seeking first aid at the local Ambulance station.
Malanda Ambulance officer Shane Newton (second from left) with Cill Fry, Ted Rolley, Bob Barkworth and Jock Copeland who all had a hand in donating the refurbished church pew.
A combined effort by the Malanda Uniting Church, Malanda Men’s Shed and Malanda Ambulance Committee resulted in a the church pew being refurbished and now repurposed at the station.
After the Malanda Uniting Church closed in 2019, one of its pews was donated to the local ambulance station to be used as seating.
The Malanda Men’s Shed then got on board to refurbish the pew. They gave it a fresh coat of paint and installed a plaque detailing the groups involved in the project.
