24.01.2022 WE ARE PROUD AS PUNCH! Yesterday Encompass’s Matt Buckingham was awarded as the winner of the Judges award for the 2020 Geelong Awards for People with Disability! Matt was working at Encompass’ HomeStart store in Jan 2019 when he realised something was wrong with fellow volunteer Bobby. ... Recognising signs of a stroke, Matt notified his supervisor, who promptly called Triple Zero. Matt ushered volunteers away from the scene, reassuring them and clearing a path for paramedics to treat Bobby and take him to hospital. Matt’s actions likely saved Bobby who has since made a full recovery. We could not be prouder of Matt and it has been a privilege to watch him grow and continue on his journey. As always - work hard, be honest and be proud of who you are Matt! From all of us here Encompass our sincere congratulations on your well-deserved award!

16.01.2022 #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day of encouraging people to do good. It is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organisations to transform their communities and the world. Encompass Community Services today is sending a call out to everyone as a reminder that every act of generosity counts!... It has been a tough year for all and as we creep towards the Christmas period, it's a time to reflect and acknowledge there are many in our community that still cannot afford the basic necessities. If you are able and wanting to provide a small act of kindness, we are collecting non-perishable food items which will be gifted as a hamper to those finding it a little tough just in time for Christmas. Donations; however big or small can be dropped off at: Encompass Community Services 79 Gheringhap Street, Geelong 3220 or Shop 1/5 Wedge Street, (Wyndham),Werribee 3030 Phone: 03 5222 3377 Email [email protected] Help us help those in need and provide staples to those going through tough times. From all of us here at Encompass, thank you and stay safe.
