After a year of hard work and determination, it was great to see the local team let their hair down at the staff Christmas Cruise. Victoria Star, a refurbished Sydney ferry, was the host vessel for the evening’s festivities. Not only was the evening a great chance for our Melbourne team to get together, but it was also an opportunity for interstate staff from Sydney to touch base with their counterparts who they’ve been working with remotely throughout the year.

The night presented everyone with a wonderful opportunity to meet and get to know others in the Afford Community, especially for staff typically rostered on 1-to-1 shifts. Like all Afford events, the Christmas cruise was a night to remember and most importantly, was a celebration of our success so far. Everyone was in good spirits and enjoying the views of the docklands from the boat. The boat was rocking with the DJ getting the dance vibes going with pumping tunes.

The celebrations were so good that everyone carried on to the after party at the Watermark in Melbourne’s Docklands. Aside from having a great time, everyone shared stories about all the achievements this year and, of course, what 2020 would bring for Afford in Melbourne. Keeping the Christmas cheer momentum rolling, Afford VIC hosted their Client Christmas party for clients, their parents and carers at the Melbourne Zoo! Clients from all Melbourne locations attended and enjoyed dancing, karaoke and gingerbread making in private room at the zoo. After lunch, clients and staff walked around the zoo and visited the butterfly house. It was a sensory explosion, where many clients and staff had beautiful butterflies landing on them. Returning to the venue from the zoo walk, clients were served a refreshing cold ice cream for dessert before either returning home for the day or continuing the adventure throughout the zoo. It was a great day had by all who attended and we look forward to the year to come. Keep the good times rolling Melbourne Team!
