As we wrap up the year, we look back with gratitude and appreciation for our wonderful community of volunteers who have made such a positive impact on so many older individuals. With the festive season approaching, we find ourselves reflecting on the spirit of togetherness and the cultural richness that defines our diverse volunteer family. This year has been marked by the dedication and contribution of each one of you, bringing your unique perspectives and backgrounds to create a colourful tapestry of diversity and life experiences to our program. For our final newsletter of the year, celebrating the festive season, we also acknowledge the richness that our collective cultural heritage brings to our shared experiences. Please join us in embracing the warmth of the season, acknowledging the diversity that makes us stronger, as we look forward to a new year filled with continued collaboration, connection, and community spirit. The end of the year can be a particularly lonely time for many seniors. We encourage everyone to share moments with older individuals, whether it's a walk, a coffee outing, or a simple phone call to extend your well wishes for the upcoming year. We will maintain our regular working hours and close on public holidays. The Back-to-Base support line will remain available throughout the holidays and can be reached at 1300 306 986. Wishing you all a festive season filled with joy and connection. We look forward to your continued involvement supporting older individuals seeking social connection and companionship in 2024. |
