Congratulations to Angela and the entire team of Our West Our Future on the successful launch of the Werribee Assembly. The initiative effectively brought organisations together under one roof to share critical insights, stories, and challenges facing our community.
The WMEN team is proud to have participated in this assembly. It was a privilege to connect with other community organisations, discuss the pressing issues affecting communities across Melbourne’s West, and collaborate on actionable solutions.
We also appreciated the opportunity to meet with political representatives and hear their perspectives.
The atmosphere throughout the event was wonderful, complemented by fantastic food. We look forward to future discussions and continued collaboration with partner organisations.
