Yesterday’s Cyber Security Forum, hosted by Darebin City Council , was a huge success! 💻🦠

The day kicked off with insightful talks from Commonwealth Bank, Vic Police and Darebin Libraries, unpacking common online scams and real-life scenarios. One highlight — a video clip of AI “Trump” delivering a fake speech — showed just how easy it is to make anything look real!

After lunch and networking, MC Jacinta Parsons kept the energy high with a fun “Spot the Scam” game show, where quick thinkers won prizes for catching dodgy emails. The day wrapped up with a Q&A panel that helped answer everyone’s burning questions.

Lively Helpers were there throughout, running a Tech Help booth in multiple languages alongside students from Preston High.

An informative, engaging and empowering day all round!👏

October Helper Meet-up 💛

Our Helpers gathered at Lively HQ last week for a day of connection and professional development! We kicked things off with a fun icebreaker that got a little too competitive 😆, then checked in on how everyone’s sessions have been going. Together, we tackled some tricky scenarios to help Helpers feel confident making good decisions, and even welcomed Genia, as a guest speaker from Elder Rights Australia, with an insightful talk on how to recognise signs of elder abuse. A big thank you to everyone who joined and shared their experiences! 🌿

A lovely day in the garden 🌿

Hannah and Bernard kicked things off with a Bunnings run for tomato plants and flowers 🌼. Back home, they harvested peas, swapped them out for marigolds and tomatoes, and freshened up the hanging baskets with new blooms. Bernard brewed a cuppa ☕. Hannah ended the session with some weeding and mulching — and she left with a handful of homegrown lemons 🍋💛

Out and about in the neighbourhood! 🏘️🌳☀️

Despina and Melissa made the most of the sunshine with a gentle stroll to the post office, where Despina caught up with friends and ticked off her errands. On the way back, they treated themselves to coffee and sweet pastries 🥐☕ — the perfect excuse for more good chats.

A simple day out, but one that left Despina smiling from ear to ear! 😊

About Lively

Lively is a not-for-profit home care provider like no other; a community that offers support for older people and employment for the young.

Our vision is a world where both younger and older people feel valued, connected and supported. To do this, we train and employ young jobseekers (aged 18–25) to provide support and services that help older folks remain independent at home and continue to live rich, meaningful lives.

With Australia’s population ageing, and the future of work for our young people changing, we believe that the time is now to change how young and older people are valued and supported in our community.

We exist to spark the connection.
