There’s something for everyone as we come together and go All In for reconciliation!

🤩We recently celebrated our community services volunteers at the Volunteer Recognition Event held at Bunjil Place, as part of National Volunteer Week.

🥰This year’s theme, “Your Year to Volunteer,” was brought to life as we recognised the dedication, compassion and impact of volunteers who support our community every day.

A special congratulations to our 2026 milestone recipients...
• 10 years: David Talbot & Lorraine Macredie
• 15 years: Janette Pike
• 40 years: Diana Heath
• 45 years: Margaret Sansom

🤩These milestones reflect decades of generosity, care and community spirit, a truly remarkable achievement.

🥰One of the highlights of the evening was hearing directly from our volunteers. Through a panel conversation, Margaret Sansom and Dennis Bartley shared what volunteering means to them.

🤩Across our programs, from delivered meals and transport to social outings, our volunteers help older residents stay connected, independent and supported in their community.

🥰To all our volunteers: we say thank you. Your time, kindness and commitment make a real difference in our community every single day.

Can people find your place easily?📍👀

- Easy to see from the street
- Near the main entrance
- Clean and in good condition
