🫖 This National Volunteers Week, we’ve been celebrating some of our incredible volunteers with special morning and afternoon teas in Deniliquin, Bendigo and Echuca! 🍰

💛 Our volunteers are the heart of Intereach. Whether it’s delivering Meals on Wheels, offering companionship through the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme, or getting people where they need to go with our Community Transport — they bring warmth, care and connection to our communities every day.

👏 Thank you to every single volunteer — you are #ConnectingCommunities one friendly visit, delivery and drive at a time.

👏 This National Volunteers Week, we celebrate our incredible team of 110 Intereach volunteers — everyday heroes like Sue, who bring warmth, connection and joy to older people in group activities and one-on-one visits through the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme.

❤️ But as Sue says, the benefits go both ways: “Volunteering has been a lifeline – it’s helped me connect with the community and brought a lot of fun and purpose to my life”.

🤲 This year’s theme, Connecting Communities, reflects the heart of what our volunteers do — building friendships, easing loneliness, and creating a sense of belonging across regional Victoria and NSW.

🌈 Today, we fly the rainbow flag for IDAHOBIT — International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. 🌈

🫶 Intereach and our longtime team member Emma, who has just been appointed Inclusion and Engagement Coordinator, proudly stand with our LGBTQIA+ community. That includes Emma’s daughter Ashlyn, who came out as transgender in 2021.

💬 “Ashlyn is a remarkable young woman who shows love and empathy to everyone she meets,” Emma said. “I'm proud to be her mum and ally.”

💬For Ashlyn: “IDAHOBIT reminds us we’re not alone and is an opportunity for allies to further educate themselves on how to best support us. Only when we support each other does our individual personalities and traits truly shine.”

💛 As chair of our Diversity and Inclusion Reference Group, Emma is helping lead change through our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan — ensuring Intereach is a safe and welcoming place for everyone to bring their whole selves to work.

👉 Show your support for the LGBTQIA+ community — leave a kind or uplifting message in the comments below.

💛 “When families feel supported, they’re more likely to stay, participate, and thrive.”

🤲 This National Families Week, the theme ‘Lending a hand to thrive: supporting each other’ perfectly reflects what our multicultural worker Sammi does every day.

🌏 Through the Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS) program, Sammi helps newly arrived families build new lives in Australia through understanding, compassion and lived experience.

“The key to settling well is connection,” she said.

As a migrant, Sammi should know – arriving in Swan Hill from Morocco almost 20 years ago, with little English, no transport, and no connection to the local community.

💪 Now she helps other families by giving them the tools they need to make their new country a place they can call home.
