Gail heads up the best delivery team

Gail Higgins is a familiar face in our community,
particularly on Wednesday mornings
when she’s out delivering The Cobar
Weekly .
You may have spotted Gail, aka ‘The Boss’
nicknamed by her LiveBetter helpers,
Myshelle Gillette, Leah Mitchell and Ashley
McMurtrie, as they reckon on Wednesdays it’s
Gail that “calls the shots!”.
The LiveBetter team have the job of delivering
and selling Cobar’s ‘Little Paper’ each
week around the CBD.
LiveBetter is a not-for-profit organisation
that offers a range of flexible support services
to their clients in Cobar and across regional
NSW.
They help to promote independence while
also assisting people with a disability to live
their best lives and achieve their goals.
As well as helping The Cobar Weekly out,
Gail’s role helps her to connect with lots of
members of the community which helps to
improve her confidence and communication
skills. She’s also learning valuable life skills
such as money handling and time management.
Gail has been working with LiveBetter for
over 10 years and spends three days each week
with her carers.
She said her favourite part about delivering
the papers each week is “saying hello to people,
going to all the shops, and then having
morning tea”.
As well as local businesses in the CBD, Gail
and the LiveBetter team also deliver papers
each week to Cobar High School, the Lilliane
Brady Village and the Golfie.
