We were pleased to welcome Ambulance Victoria to our IOE small groups this week đźš‘
Participants took part in an engaging presentation, learning about what happens in an emergency, when to call an ambulance, and how paramedics help keep our community safe.
Opportunities like this help build confidence, reduce anxiety, and create familiarity with essential services in a safe and supportive environment.
A big thank you to the team for sharing their knowledge and connecting with our participants đź’›

đź’› Students supporting community! đź’›

On March 6, Caulfield Grammar School, Wheelers Hill campus held a free dress day to raise funds for Interchange Outer East (IOE).

The event was organised by our wonderful volunteer, Lacy Wastell, who is a student at the school. Lacy wanted to share how much she loves volunteering with IOE and the difference it makes. Thank you Lacy for your initiative and support!

Our Volunteer Team is always looking to connect with local high schools so we can speak with students and promote volunteering opportunities.

If you have connections with teachers or local high schools, please reach out to Paulo on 0400 154 049 or email volunteers@ioe.org.au.
