Today we celebrate Wear Orange Wednesday and the incredible dedication of our SES volunteers who give so much to support the community.

Members from the Portland Unit spent time visiting Portland Primary School and Portland Bay School. We thank both schools for celebrating with us and for the warm welcome throughout the day.

A big thank you also to the inquisitive students whose enthusiasm and thoughtful questions made the visits so enjoyable for our members!

Happy WOW Day🧡

Straight off the job into community engagement activities!

Thank you to members Josh & Colin who came directly from a request for assistance callout to spend time showing Bayview College students through our unit.

Opportunities like these are a great way to connect with local students and showcase how they can get involved in supporting their community.
