Shannon's Bridge
During October, we spent the afternoon with Jo & Lorraine from Shannon’s Bridge. We learnt more about their initiative, some of the great work they are doing within the local community & also assisted in packing around 30 packs for those in palliative care. Shannon’s Bridge aims to assist people who are in palliative care, who wish to be comfortable in their last days by being at home surrounded by loved ones & also aim to increase death literacy amongst the general population. They do wonderful work upskilling people in being able to talk and interact with those in palliative care. The packs are a vital part of the care process, it includes important medical supplies, but also other general items like lip balm & tissues. Although at times confronting to hear some of the stories, it was great to see there are people in the community who want to make a difference and assist those in need. Sarah from CVI & Chelsey from NWF also spent an afternoon training with them to learn more about the initiative & how to assist those people in need. If anyone wants to learn more about Shannon’s Bridge & what they do, or to donate or volunteer their time, head to their website www.shannonsbridge.com/ |

Geelong Try Boys
Peter Bain, one of CVI’s board members has a long association with The Geelong Try Boys. Through this connection CVI became aware of an opportunity to help support the community. The Geelong Try Boys stadium has had various of roof leaks over the basketball courts, some of which have been ongoing since roof originally installed. The Geelong Try Boys caters for men and women, junior boys and girls of all abilities including wheelchair basketball. They pride themselves on our junior program with a focus on development, good sportsmanship and creating an environment for kids to have fun. CVI has been involved in making a donation to the Geelong Try Boys to be used towards the work needed to fix and upgrade our roof. Geelong Try Boys have reported that after the kind donation from CVI they are now able to continue our roof program to fix the issues and have ongoing maintenance done. http://websites.sportstg.com/club_info.cgi?c=1-4097-52711-0-0/ |

Daniher’s Drive for MND Foundation...
CVI colleague Peter O’Connell from PPT recently joined friends on a special drive around Victoria to raise much needed money and to help raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND). CVI were happy to contribute to this important inaugral event. See below a summary from Peter and his crew. “Just a final note to thank you all for your donations. The Stumblebums exceeded our target and hit a total of $15,920. You may have seen the media reports indicating that the total raised by the inaugural Daniher’s Drive was in excess of $1m. The organisers tell us it’s going to be above $1.1m by the time they finalise the count later this week - a great result. It’s also really positive that this money will be applied to global leading research work by the Cure for MND Foundation lead by Dr Ian Davis. Ian explained during the Drive the links that the Foundation is making with other leading research bodies around the world to ensure these skinny resources are applied efficiently and with the best chances of making a difference. As Neale explained, he and Ian are dedicating themselves to raising funds so that there’s a greater chance future generations won’t have to suffer what each of them is experiencing. So they are keen to make sure it is well spent." |

Mindshop Excellence Program The Mindshop Excellence program has had a 20 year history in the Ballarat business community. It gives a group of Year 10 students an opportunity to work on a project with a local business and present outcomes at the end of the week. CVI had the pleasure of hosting 6 energetic girls from Loreto College in August for a week and we gave them a project brief from which to work. We were very impressed with the girls, their professionalism, their commitment to the tasks we have given them and their presentation on the Friday was first class. A lunch was organised which was attended by the girls, their parents, CVI staff, Loreto teaching staff and some CVI clients with close connections to Loreto College. The program was featured on WinTV and in The Courier so the girls were excited to see themselves and their work in the wider community. The girls are also excited to see that some direct changes may happen at CVI due to their youthful insight into investment, especially marketing the advantages of investing at a younger age to our current customers and their direct families. |
