The last PORTogether group, in partnership with the Port Phillip Community Group and the amazing David Nicholas made three short films about Social Health and Inclusion Port's (SHIP) projects.
Participants made three films that showcase stories that highlight the impact of being connected, taking action, participating, focused effort, seeing an idea get up and the outcomes.
The three stories for the films were about three SHIP projects over the past 4-5 years SHIP has been running.
Here is a brief description of each project followed by the YouTube link - please have a look and tell us what you think!

The Waterfront Welcomers is a volunteer project that has been running since 2014 down at Station Pier in Port Melbourne. It trains local residents in customer service, tourism and about local history and heritage of Port Melbourne and the wider City of Port Phillip. The volunteers then greet the cruise ship passengers as they disembark and give them information about the local area and encourage them to spend some time in Port Melbourne and surrounds. The Welcomers are a fantastic bunch of locals who love their community, love meeting new people and love giving back to their community through volunteering! It's starting again in October 2017 so contact Lyn via email for more information or Like their Facebook Page.

The Power Walkers of Port!
SHIP planned to create more opportunities for Port Melbourne residents to be more active by establishing and supporting local walking groups! The Heart Foundation has a program which has been establishing walking groups with interested individuals for many years. The walking groups aren't just good for the physical wellbeing but is beneficial in terms of social connections and mental wellbeing as well. The Power Walkers of Port have become a cohesive group, due in no small part to their charismatic walking leader Yvonne. If you'd like to get involved in a walking group in your local area - contact Greg at Star Health for more information!
