What a difference a day makes - Melbourne Citymission's AGM
For the last 157 years, every second of every day, Melbourne Citymission has been there for people facing disadvantage.
Last week we celebrated the difference we’ve made in so many people’s lives over the past year at our 157th Annual General Meeting. The event took place at ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image), right in the heart of Melbourne.
It was a great night for Melbourne Citymission, heralding a bright future for us all and most importantly for the people with whom we work. Thank you to everyone who attended and made the event a success, it was fantastic to see so many of our staff, partners and supporters there.
Andrew Carter, Melbourne Citymission’s Board Chair, and Rev Ric Holland, CEO (pictured above), shared their vision for Melbourne Citymission’s future, focusing on the directions of our Strategic Plan. The event also set the scene for the launch of our new short documentary film ‘One Day’. This film captures moments during a typical day in the life of Melbourne Citymission and is available to view here.
Many outstanding Melbourne Citymission staff members were presented achievement awards on the night (pictured right).
Today, tomorrow, the day after that, and for the next 157 years, Melbourne Citymission will be there responding to the ever-changing needs of people experiencing disadvantage and distress.
With the help of staff, volunteers, government, corporates, trusts, foundations and our fantastic supporters, we will ensure that the Melbourne Citymission clock keeps ticking. Thank you for your support.
