Embassy of Ideas

🧡 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 🧡

⭐️The Embassy would not exist without volunteers. They are the backbone of our organisation and at the heart of everything we do.
💯We are a 100% volunteered powered community space. From our committee of management, to those who help run events or pitch in at working bees.
🙏It's National Volunteer Week! We celebrate and acknowledge all our incredible volunteers (both past and present), who so generously give their time, energy and kindness to make the magic happen here at the Embassy. We are so grateful for your contributions and dedication.
🫶Thank you for supporting our vision of cultivating a connect, caring and creative community.

🎉Another fabulous night of community connections at the Embassy
🙏Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for another free community dinner. With Murrindindi Shire Council supplying the yummy roast beef and gravy rolls, and the Embassy putting on an assortment of pavlovas for dessert.
👫What a wonderful way to meet new friends and connect with familiar faces. There was over 110 people in attendance – even a few rain showers didn’t deter the crowds!
🍲Sometimes the best thing we can do is come together, share a meal, catch up and check in on our neighbours. These dinners are all about building community connections and strengthening our resilience — simply by sharing a meal and spending time together.
💞It is so important right now to continue to look out for each other. Let's keep talking. Keep checking in. And showing up with kindness and compassion. Because community matters 🌻
