We say thank you to VMCH volunteers

12 May 2017

We celebrated National Volunteer Week with a function for 300 VMCH volunteers at the iconic Melbourne Town Hall.

The annual luncheon is an occasion where we acknowledge the significant contributions volunteers make to our organisation.

As individuals from a myriad of backgrounds, our community of 600 volunteers contribute in different ways to our aged care, disability, special education and community services areas.

From running craft and exercise classes in our aged care residences to supporting children with disabilities, they work with us to help some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Collectively, our volunteers embody and reflect the values of VMCH including compassion, inclusion and respect.

A delicious two-course lunch was enjoyed at the event, and entertainment was provided by the fabulous and fun ‘3 Tenoz’ opera singers.

Acknowledgement of Country

We here at VMCH respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which we gather, and we would like to take a moment to honour the fact that we live on the lands of the oldest civilisation in the world. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples, and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging.
