What's New At Connections?

Connections UnitingCare is today launching its new Make A Connection campaign telling real stories of real people - highlighting the fact that we support local community members.

As part of Connections' 10 year anniversary, the Make A Connection campaign is encouraging members of the community to find out more about someone's story, to see what someone's life is like and how regular monthly donations can make a real difference.

A selection of mosaic art created by women who have experienced family violence will be on display at St Kilda Library from Tuesday 23 March 2010 for a week.

Stemming from an overwhelming response of clients who expressed their need for ongoing contact with other women who have also experienced family violence, Connections UnitingCare Mosaic Art Group ran for 10 weeks in late 2009 from Connections’ Windsor office.

An innovative and unique program run by Connections UnitingCare is offering young mothers the opportunity to gain more knowledge and further their skills by becoming a Peer Support Worker with its Starting Out program.

Starting Out, a community-based support program for young, pregnant and parenting women up to the age of 25 years is hosting an information session for potential Peer Support Workers at Connections' Croydon office at 185 Mt Dandenong Road on Friday 19 March.
