GenU Bellarine Connections Community participant Chris has started delivering the Voice on Monday mornings.

Chris took great delight in telling the local shop owners that he has started his new job and that he will see them again soon.

Bellarine Connections Facilitator Eliza Raleigh said Chris already knows most of the locals on The Terrace as he has been a part of the Ocean Grove community for years and calls in to say hi often.

“It is amazing how many people come up to Chris and know him well,” she said.

“He runs into many people he knows every time he walks down the street.”

“Bellarine Connections is all about community inclusion for all, participating and being valued in our local community,” genU Bellarine Connections Lee Considine said.

“Opportunities like this where we can get out and about in the community, meet people and contribute in a really positive way to community life is what we’re all about.

“Chris is so happy to be able to do this, we would like to say a big thanks to the Voice for the opportunity.

“You can see Chris out and about delivering papers every second Monday, if you want to come and say hi.”
