We are so excited to be one of the lucky ones to receive a Tiny Towns Fund grant from Development Victoria!
This grant will allow us to re-stump our old hall and give her another 130 years of service to our community.
Thanks to all who supported us 💫🙏🏼

Anyone want to talk trucks and farm life?

Could you be the mate he's been looking for? 🚜

We have a lovely Do Care gentleman in Colac who spent his life on the land and has a passion for trucks, tractors and farming. He's not very mobile these days, so he's looking for someone to come to him. But don't let that fool you, he's got plenty of great yarns to share from a life well lived!

He'd love a Do Care volunteer companion who enjoys:
🚜 Talking tractors, trucks and all things farming
☕ A good chat over a cuppa at home
🤝 Simply sitting together and swapping stories

As a bonus, your visits would also give his wife some precious time to get out and do her own thing, so you'd be making a difference for two people at once!

If you've got a love of the land and a spare hour each week, we'd love to hear from you.

Become a Do Care volunteer today, because everyone deserves companionship and connection.
