PAE
People
Port Adelaide football legend Darryl Poole
knows that it is the people who make a place.
Highlighting unique stories of local people was
the motivation behind starting his Facebook
page It’s Port Adelaide. Darryl will be expanding
on this soon for our new PAE People project, by
capturing more of the inspirational, touching and
unique stories of the people living across the city.
Telling the stories of the people who make up
our diverse community helps to create stronger
connections, and Darryl hopes that together
PAE can continue to grow as a collective and
everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
He will be travelling around PAE to capture
stories and photos, and will be sharing them
through our social media pages and a regular PAE
People feature.
Darryl shares our view that people are the most
important ingredient in any place.“There’s no
doubt the shiny things are important, but it’s the
people that make our community so incredible, ”
he says.
If you know of any unsung heroes that should
be acknowledged as PAE People, please contact
I tell stories and share photos
because the local, selfless
champions within our community
deserve to be celebrated and
embraced. By shining a light on
them it acknowledges their efforts
and highlights that there are so
many good people doing
good things.
