1010 sizzles for Interchange

The sausages were sizzling in the courtyard of 1010 LaTrobe St on March 26 when VicTrack and Café 1010 co-hosted a Great Australian Sunny Sizzle to raise funds in support of Interchange Victoria.

Interchange Victoria, a community partner of VicTrack, provides support through a range of services to Victorian children and young adolescents living with disabilities.

Through its very popular Host Program, volunteer hosts open their homes to the children to give families some much-needed respite.  

“VicTrack is very pleased to support Interchange and the important work they do for Victorian families,” VicTrack’s Mac Henshall said.

Under its community partnership program, VicTrack supports Interchange by providing unsold billboard advertising space for free.

“They have an important message to get out – that there is support available for people living with disabilities and their families,” Mr Henshall said.

“We understand how isolating it can be for families living with disabilities. It is incredibly important for organisations like Interchange to reach them,” he said.

The Great Australian Sunny Sizzle is an awareness campaign which runs each year in March. The aim is to bring people together to talk about disability, Interchange and volunteering.
