In The Drivers Seat
On a sunny afternoon in July, Kathleen Hammond got to drive a car for the first time in more than 10 years, since she lost her sight. Kathleen was one of more than 110 vision impaired people who took to Sandown Raceway, as part of the Warrandyte Lions Club’s "In The Drivers Seat" event. In the Drivers Seat pairs vision impaired people with driving instructors, allowing them the chance to get behind the wheel and hitting 100 kilometres an hour! For Kathleen, her first drive since earning her learners at the age of 16, is not just about a need for speed. “This means I get to do something I don’t normally get to do. Something that all my friends get to do everyday,” she said. “I’ve only got 20 to 15 percent vision left. I’m not allowed to go get my licence, I’m not allowed to go work or anything like that, so today it’s a great day, I get to go driving.

MMTC – Invest in Live Musical Theatre
At MMTCi, we believe in the transformative power of live musical theatre. For over 50 years, Miranda Musical Theatre Company Incorporated has been the Sutherland Shire’s premier community theatre, bringing joy, creativity, and inclusivity to local audiences through more than 130 productions.

Our mission is simple but powerful: To provide top-quality musical theatre productions that engage audiences and nurture participation—whether you wish to perform, design, build sets, or simply enjoy the result. Each year, our talented volunteer members bring multiple productions to life at leading venues like The Pavilion Performing Arts Centre and Sutherland Arts Theatre—from landmark musicals like Les Misérables, Catch Me If You Can, and She Loves Me, to newer favourites such as Georgy Girl.
Geelong Youth Engagement
Geelong Youth Engagement’s objective is to facilitate changes and empower youth to launch into successful adulthood and reach their potential. Many of the young people associated with our programs had adopted a mixture of negative behaviours and had very poor relationships with local police, school, and the wider community. This was compounded by a lack of positive engagement and direction to guide these young people in their decision-making. The target outcomes for Geelong Youth Engagement include: ·Reduce offending and anti-social behaviour ·Reduce self-harm and possible suicide ideology ·Promote positive interactions with local businesses and government agencies ·Reduce the chances of young people becoming a victim ·Breakdown barriers between police and young people, and reduce family violence ·To empower positive community connections through a ‘Community web of protections’
