💙 It's your year to volunteer 💙

To celebrate National Volunteer Week this year, council is joining forces with Central Grampians Local Learning and Employment Network, Grampians Community Health and East Wimmera Health Service to launch - My Year to Volunteer - a campaign that honours our amazing local volunteers and celebrates the important role they play in building stronger, more inclusive communities.

My Year to Volunteer will shine a spotlight on dedicated volunteers from our local clubs, community groups and not-for-profit organisations to highlight their valuable contributions and hopefully inspire others in our community to do the same.

Know someone who deserves a little recognition? Nominate a volunteer before 5pm on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 and they could be included in our campaign that will air between May 11 - 24.

Register via Central Grampians LLEN's online form, here - https://ow.ly/t8mG50YypC6

🦷 World Oral Health Day - March 20 | ORAL HEALTH FOR ADULTS

Your smile is a part of who you are. A healthy mouth supports your whole body and makes everyday moments brighter whether sharing a meal, chatting with a friend, or laughing with loved ones.

• Maintain good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly. Regular check-ups allow dentists to detect and treat problems early.

• Protect your smile by avoiding to***co, limiting alcohol, reducing sugar, and following a healthy lifestyle.

• Eat well-balanced meals and replace sugary drinks with water. Frequent consumption of sugar throughout the day increases the risk of tooth decay.

• Wear a properly fitted mouthguard during contact sports and cycling.

• Take extra care when pregnant, as hormonal changes can affect oral health. It is important to schedule a dental check-up during pregnancy.
