23.01.2022 Happy National Grandparents Day! To celebrate, we're showing off three generations of Vinnies Shop volunteers from Vinnies Victoria the Gleesons. Grandparents Helen and Brian (left) are dedicated volunteers, along with with their children and grandchildren at the Vinnies Shop in Kilsyth.... The kids really enjoy being there and it is good work experience for them. Jade cannot wait until she’s old enough to sign up properly, though the volunteer who sorts the toys sometimes asks her opinion of the different donations we receive. It is inspiring and heart-warming to see how that can spread to other people, Helen said. Thank you Gleesons Happy National Grandparents Day!
