The surf coast in Victoria, from Geelong down to the Great Ocean Road, has been hit by devastating affordable housing shortages. According to a Domain rental report released this month, housing rental in the greater Geelong region rose by almost 30%. This means that people – individuals, families and children – in Geelong are hurting.

Join us for an Anti-Poverty Week event that will shine a light on Greater Geelong – on Tuesday 18 October – ‘We Are Community’.

It will be a night where you will be asked to open your ears, tap into your heart and ask yourselves “How can Vinnies help me be an advocate for change?”

Full program details will be available closer to the date (Heart-warming stories, heart-warming food, interactive opportunities and learning about “good”). However, we can’t wait to introduce you first hand to the ‘Good Works’ our active network of 1,070+ volunteers in the local Geelong area provide rain, hail or shine.
