Community Visitors Newsletter Friends For Older People SEP 2019 Hello Volunteers & Friends Welcome to our Spring CVS newsletter! Hello everyone, Spring is here, with beautiful sunny days, one of the reasons we live in regional Victoria. We are excited to announce that CVS has a new program coordinator Liezel Jonker. Liezel has a strong background in communication and marketing. So over the next few months Liezel’s focus will be on raising community awareness of the CVS program, with the aim of recruiting new volunteers. Please contact us if you would like to meet Liezel when she is in town, or if you would like our new brochure sent to a community group or a personal contact you think will be interested in joining CVS. Thank you for your participation in the CVS Survey. Feedback has indicated that you, our volunteers, are happy with your involvement in the program. However, we can improve our service delivery by providing you with greater support and communication. In response, we are working on improving our phone contact, and Liezel will get out and will make regular visits across Hume and the aged care facilities. Our newsletter has had a facelift, and we are continuing to work on providing you with relevant and interesting topics. The Community Visitors Scheme: 1800 682 710 Email:

Please let us know if you would like Jess, The Centre’s Communication and Events Coordinator, to write and capture a story you have to share.
