11.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day! In November 2019, R U OK? launched a campaign to encourage peer and social support for all our emergency services workers. ‘Are they Triple OK?’ asks all police and emergency services workers and their families to recognise their shared responsibility to help each other through the unique challenges of serving the community as well as life’s normal ups and downs.... Our firefighters have so busy recently, so let’s ask ‘Are They Triple OK?’ A conversation could change a life!

11.01.2022 It’s almost Christmas Time and we are here to celebrate! Unfortunately, this year our Annual Virginia Store Christmas Eve Party cannot go ahead due to the new COVID-19 Restrictions. Don’t worry, we are still spreading the Christmas Spirit in a new way. With sponsorship from The Virginia Store, we are happy to bring you the 2020 Santa Lolly Run!... Please note, this is our first year doing a Santa Run. We do not expect it to be as big as Humpty Doo or Koolpinyah’s Santa Runs as they have been happening for a while. With the late news of not being able to host our Annual Party due to COVID-19, Virginia Bees Creek Volunteers and Virginia Store have had little time to get this new event up and running. Please have patience and we are happy to take on any feedback so we can make the event even bigger and better in 2021. **If you plan to participate, please read below information**
