Mrs Bronwyn Johnson - Gray

Nominated by Athina Pasco-Bell Seconded by Ian Peters

Bronwyn moved to the Northern Territory 38 years ago and she has three children. Today, Bronwyn lives in Palmerston and like much of her senior life, her weeks are filled with volunteering.

On Monday she volunteers at Howard Springs primary school assisting in the library.

On Tuesday turns up bright and early, working for the Red Cross in their telly cross program, where from 7 AM to 9 AM she calls between 96-100 seniors to check that they are up and about.

Bronwyn was a member of the Salvation Army retiring 16 years ago. On Wednesday she volunteers at the Salvos in Woodroffe and in the evening, she is the group leader for the Joey Scouts and Scouts and runs the group.

Bronwyn has been in the scouting movement since 1980. She originally ran a Scout 

Group in Howard Springs for 27 years and then came and took over the Palmerston

Scouts in 2007.

On a Thursday she helps out at the Hospital, buying all the toiletries and sweets for the trolleys that she also assists in taking around the Hospital to patients in the wards, to see if they would like to buy any.

If all of this volunteering is not enough, Bronwyn also assists the Salvation Army when needed, to drive the prison bus taking the families to visit the inmates.
