SET Free Care is a friendly, welcoming, Southport-based charity, there for the community, and that’s exactly why the Gold Coast Writers’ Association (GCWA) chose Set Free Care as the recipient of not only several boxes filled with donated dry goods but a cheque for $120 as well, and all in time for Christmas. Pastor of Set Free Church Mal Kennedy is shown accepting the items on behalf of the charity from GCWA representative Caren Sattler.

The toilet seat that changed our lives RETURNED Serviceman Trevor Brown says he knew his luck had changed when he saw an advertisement for the COWAY Bidet. “I saw Coway’s Bidet toilet seats advertised & it mentioned warm water, heated seats &warm air dryers. It simply replaces my existing toilet seat”. Having suffered with a medical condition for years Mr Brown decided to investigate further. The Bidet Shop® sent its representative Stephen Bingham to demonstrate how easily a bidet is installed & operated. For peace of mind, Trevor &
his wife Aileen decided to have The Bidet Shop® organise the installation. Trevor & Aileen say that apart from the heated seat & warm water, they were also impressed by the comfort &health factors the seat offers. Trevor explained that the seat worked by “pressing the auto-wash button on the easy-to-use remote control unit &a stream of warm water cleans you thoroughly. Then an inbuilt fan dries you off with warm air. “ Aileen said she is already saving money on toilet paper! Mr Brown said the COWAY BIDET was one
of the best investments they had made in their personal health & hygiene. After years of toileting problems Mr Brown no longer finds going to the loo an issue. “Give it a go” they say, “it’s marvellous” For more information call The Bidet Shop® on 5591 7744 Gold Coast/ South Brisbane, 1800 140 900 North Brisbane to Wide Bay or 1800 243 387 National.
