Victoria University students were happily socialising with St Albans seniors last Friday as part of the university’s annual Volunteer for You Day.

Now in its fifth year, the program had volunteers chatting with residents at Doutta Galla Aged Services and cooking a barbecue lunch to enjoy together.

Resident George, VU students Esther Nyikang and Emily Bickley and staff member Gordanna Veljanovski wer part of the program which builds relationships between students, staff, academics and local residents.
