💚 Happy National Volunteer Week 💚

We want to say a HUGE thank you to all of our amazing volunteers 👏

From our Committee members, gardening volunteers, bread collection team, and those supporting our bread handout and Community Connections Café, to our class volunteers, and social activity and event helpers 🎉 — we truly couldn’t do it without you.

Your time, kindness, energy and community spirit help make our neighbourhood house a welcoming, connected and supportive place for so many people 🏡💛

This week is National Volunteer Week, and what better way to start the week than by highlighting an opportunity to support our Homework Club!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our current amazing volunteer tutor is unfortunately unable to teach at the moment. We are now looking for a replacement tutor for the remainder of this term, with the potential to continue working alongside her next term.

If you are passionate about helping students learn and grow, we would love to hear from you.

Please see the attached document for more information.

When booking, you can submit your questions for Vinu ahead of time, and there will also be an opportunity to ask questions during the session.

FVREE have an exciting FREE opportunity for the Monash community to participate in our 3Rs of Family Violence training!

This training is designed to support community to feel confident to:

RECOGNISE: Understand and learn to recognise the signs of family violence
RESPOND: Build key skills in responding to disclosures or safely ask questions if you suspect a friend or colleague may be experiencing violence
REFER: Understand that it is not your role to hold this on your own- there are key family violence services available in the community. Know how to safely ‘refer’ a person experiencing family violence to the right support.

Many people who experience family violence often first talk to someone they know and trust rather than a professional service. We believe everyone in the community should be trained in knowing how to safely handle a disclosure and respond to family violence.

When? Friday 19th June 2026, 10 am – 12:30 pm

Where? Mulgrave, VIC (exact location will be provided once you register)

Sign up via Humanitix: https://events.humanitix.com/3rs

This free session is available to community members who live, work, volunteer or play in the City of Monash, Victoria, Australia. This session is funded through Monash City Council's Equality and Respect Grant.

Family violence disclosure training for community! Feel confident to recognise signs of family violence, respond to disclosures and refer people onto support.
