UMFC holds Helen Haines, her family, friends, staff and our community in our thoughts.

Helen's strength, compassion and dedication to the people of our region have touched countless lives. She is a tireless advocate who works every day to ensure community voices are heard and that local needs are not overlooked.

At this difficult time, our thoughts are with Helen and those closest to her.

🎁 The Give a Gift Appeal is back!

Last year, our community helped over 618 local children and young people experience moments of joy, hope and belonging. This year, with many families doing it tough, the need is greater than ever.

A joint initiative of UMFC , Centre Against Violence and Gateway Health , every donation helps provide gifts and support to local children, young people and families who may otherwise go without.

❀️ Every donation makes a difference. Help make sure no child misses out.

🏒 Are you a business, school, community group or organisation looking to support the appeal? We'd love to hear from you. Reach out to [email protected]

We loved being part of the Grit and Resilience Festival on Saturday as we marked World Mental Health Day.

It was fantastic to see people of all ages connecting, learning and getting involved in the activities throughout the day. Mental health matters at every stage of life and by building resilience, fostering positive relationships and developing healthy coping strategies from a young age, we can help children and young people thrive throughout life.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat and helped make the day such a positive celebration of community connection.

This Kinship Care Week we say THANK YOU to our Kinship Carers!

A kinship carer is a family member or someone with a significant relationship to a child who provides care when they are unable to live with their parents.

By providing love, stability and a sense of belonging, kinship carers help children stay connected to family, culture and community.

We appreciate all you do!

Come and say hello at the Age Well Expo from 9-4 at The Cube Wodonga today!

As part of Seniors Festival, we're highlighting the many ways UMFC supports older people across our region, including the Support for Carers, Financial Counselling and Capability programs and more. We'd love to chat about the supports available and how we can help.

✨ What a week! ✨

Five incredible young people came together for four days of connection, creativity, adventure and learning as part of our Mind, Body & Nature School Holiday Program.

From mindfulness and African drumming to rock climbing, circus skills, creating delicious treats, art and culture, each day offered new opportunities for young people to learn, grow and challenge themselves. Whether scaling the walls at Rise Climbing Albury, trying circus tricks with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, creating tasty treats, expressing themselves through art, or connecting with culture and Country at Lake Moodemere with Uncle Dozer, the week was filled with connection, creativity, discovery and personal growth. πŸŒΏπŸ’™

Throughout the program, young people were encouraged to share ideas, try new experiences, support one another and celebrate their achievements. We are so proud of the courage, curiosity and enthusiasm they showed all week long. πŸ’™

A special thank you to our wonderful community partners who helped make the program possible:
In The Groove African Drumming – Brianna Slattery
Rise Climbing Albury
Flying Fruit Fly Circus
Blossom & Brush Creative Workshops – Suzie Quartermain
ACHE - Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Education – Uncle Dozer

Featured artwork: This image showcases a group drawing created by the young people during the program, capturing what they saw, learned and experienced on their cultural tour of Lake Moodemere with Uncle Dozer.
