Your year to volunteer
The Eastern Health National Volunteer Week event provided the perfect opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to our amazing, dedicated and invaluable volunteers.
Over 90 guests enjoyed the festivities, sharing stories on their collective impact.
Eastern Health Board Members and Executives were in attendance to praise those volunteers receiving service awards, ranging from 5 to over 20 years.
The event was capped off with discussion panel from volunteers, Lin Merry, Maree Lyon and Bruce Powell.
Each reflecting on the varied volunteer work they do at Eastern Health, why they do it, and how it has changed their lives for the better.
Thank you to the Box Hill RSL for hosting and Community Bank Inner East for their generous support of this event.
