Historical information
Linda Blundell was employed by the Presbytery of Maribyrnong Valley, arranged by the Presbytery Minister of the time, the Rev. Brace Bateman. She was employed to work with Broadmeadows families, in particular with those who had got into financial difficulties through excessive borrowing and the somewhat unscrupulous advertising tactics of some businesses. The problem was seen as acute at the time.
Significance
This was the first person to be employed by the Maribyrnong Valley Presbytery in a purely social worker-type capacity.
