CEO’s Message – Winter 2018

31 May 2018

Connecting with people across communities is at the heart of the work we do at VMCH. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to be part of the lives of thousands of people from all walks of life, from all age groups and from many faiths and cultural backgrounds.

There is an overwhelming sense of community across VMCH, which is highlighted through the support you give. Some of our supporters recently came along to the 2018 Volunteer Lunch. It was wonderful to see over 300 people, some from regional Victoria, come along to meet others who have made VMCH such a part of their lives.

A sense of community doesn’t just happen. It takes commitment and a joint vision to bring people together. The VMCH Board and myself are often overwhelmed by the people who want to be part of this organisation and the work we do.

Please stay connected as there are many activities, programs and initiatives we at VMCH are celebrating over the coming months.

You can see regular news and stories by following us on Facebook and Instagram, and through subscribing to our supporter magazine, Seasons.

Thank you for being part of the VMCH community.
