One of our all time favourite people is retiring! Many of you will remember Carolyn from her 16 years here at our house. She built this organisation into the thriving place it is today and has continued to work tirelessly in our community. Total legend. Enjoy the adventures ahead! X###

After more than a year leading The Venny, our CEO Carolyn Webster is moving on and we want to take a moment to properly acknowledge what she has built.

Carolyn came to the role having already given years of her time as a volunteer. Carolyn leaves behind a genuinely stronger organisation. She overhauled our systems and processes, created foundations that will serve this community for years to come, and led her team with real care and warmth.

On behalf of the board, we want to acknowledge the enormous contribution Carolyn has made to The Venny. We are sad to see her go and deeply grateful for everything she has given this organisation. We wish her every success in what comes next.
