Mid Murray Support Service has many updates, exciting events, and opportunities to share with you this month. We hope you find these updates beneficial and join us in making our community even more vibrant and supportive.
Fleet Update!!
We are thrilled to announce that new vehicles will soon join our fleet. These additions will enhance our capacity to serve the community efficiently and ensure our services are always reliable and accessible.
Minimising Carpark Chaos
We are planning to downsize the garden area to reduce carpark congestion. This change will provide more parking space and ease the flow of traffic, making it safer and more convenient for everyone visiting our premises.
Welcome Our New Team Members
We are pleased to introduce our new Garden Maintenance/Home Maintenance worker, Rob. With this addition to our team, we can assist even more residents with their home and garden maintenance needs. Welcome aboard, Rob!
We are also delighted to welcome Sharron, our dedicated Group Social Support Worker. Sharron brings nearly 20 years of experience in the industry to our team, primarily in Group Social Support. Be sure to say hello next time you're at The HUB and get to know the newest member of our supportive community.

This month, our tip is all about keeping warm efficiently. Did you know that layering your clothing can help trap heat more effectively? To stay cozy during the colder months, start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating middle layer, and top it off with a windproof outer layer.
