Now is the opportunity to meet another member of the MCVC.
Hello. My name is Jules
I was first introduced to VIEW by the late Linda Kenny, who spoke so passionately about the friendships, purpose and sense of community that VIEW creates. Not long afterwards, I met Wendy Lewis completely by chance at a time when I was stepping away from my volunteer work as a reflexologist at St John of God Hospice and looking for a new way to contribute and give back.
Fast forward several years and joining VIEW has become so much more than simply belonging to a club. Through VIEW I have met some truly wonderful people, formed meaningful friendships, and become part of a community that genuinely cares about making a difference.
As someone who moved to Australia later in life, leaving behind family and lifelong friendships, VIEW has given me something I didn’t realise I was missing, that extended family feeling, connection, support, and friendship that becomes increasingly important as life evolves.
What makes VIEW particularly special is knowing that the friendships and social connection are paired with something much bigger. Supporting children’s education through The Smith Family, VIEW helps provide educational support for disadvantaged Australian children, helping with essentials such as learning resources, educational programs and opportunities that can genuinely change the direction of a child’s future. Education creates opportunity, confidence and choices, and knowing we contribute to that makes the friendships and fundraising feel even more meaningful.
For me, VIEW has added richness, friendship, purpose and connection to my life, and I’m incredibly grateful that a chance conversation all those years ago led me here.
