Today is International Volunteer Day. The UN coordinates IVD on 5 December annually to recognize and promote the tireless work of volunteers across the globe.
Volunteering is where compassion meets solidarity. Both share the same root values – supporting each other from a position of ...trust, humility, respect and equality.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank our volunteers for their contribution to The Bridge and their vital role in improving the lives of people living with disabilities. Some of our volunteers have been supporting us for many years and we are truly grateful.

International Day of People with Disability was on Saturday 3rd December, and were celebrating all of last week at The Bridge with our participants. We work with people of all abilities who all embark on a journey with us.
Here’s Brodie’s story in his words:
'Hi, I’m ...Brodie. When I was completing my schooling at Marnebek in Cranbourne in 2019, the NDIS made me aware of a school leaver employment service (SLES) ran at The Bridge called Youth Jobs Now! (YJN!) I started with them in 2021 and learnt so much stuff about preparing for employment applications, the interview process, working relationships and conflict resolutions.
YJN! gave me the encouragement to apply for numerous jobs and in October 2019 I got a job at McDonalds in Dandenong. I’ve been trained up and have picked up so many transferable skills. I also was fortunate to work at the recent Melbourne F1 Grand Prix as a marshal and have worked several AFL matches too. You might see me at the footy yelling “Get yer records!” I’m so glad I joined the Youth Jobs Now! with The Bridge.'

Tomorrow is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) which this year is focussing on helping others to #lookbeyond and challenge their attitudes & assumptions about disability. At The Bridge, our vision is to have a connected society where people of all abilities achieve their full ...potential. It’s something we are passionate about and strive for every day.
To mark this important day and its message, The Bridge held BBQ lunches at one of their Connects community sites (Webb Street Day Service) and their Employment sites (The Bridge Works factory) for all participants and employees to attend.
Everyone was encouraged to take some time out to have some lunch and for participants and employees to mingle, share stories, and enjoy the sunshine. Much fun was had, and it was a great way for the whole company to get together and celebrate this important day.

“This is a gift! At The Bridge everyone is seen as an individual with a set of gifts and things to offer. And our job is to help them find that and then to pursue that.” - This year’s International Day of People with Disability theme is #LookBeyond , something that we do every day at The ...Bridge to celebrate all our participants’ individuality. You can see that in this wonderful story of our Volunteer Coordinator Gabriel, whose personal experience of having a daughter with autism makes her that much more passionate about her job supporting people with disabilities.
