Amber Community celebrates 30 years of dedication and impact
Amber Community is deeply grateful to everyone who joined us on Friday 24 July 2024, to mark our 30 Year Anniversary. The unwavering support and commitment of our volunteers, staff, supporters, sponsors, and partners have been instrumental in our achievements over the past three decades.
Throughout these years, we have witnessed many changes, always maintaining a steadfast dedication to supporting clients impacted by road trauma. The expansion of our education team, programs, and volunteers has amplified our impact, raising awareness about the crucial importance of road safety and prevention.
The power of stories
The focus remains on the power of stories. Our volunteers’ courage in sharing their lived experiences helps reduce the incidence and impact of road trauma. Amber Community expresses heartfelt thanks to Manny, Kerry, and Mark for sharing their stories, which were highlighted on banners during the night.
Capturing the celebration
We were fortunate to have Frank Amato, Photographer, again capture the night with some incredible photos. Thank you, Frank Amato!
Amber Community remains committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by road trauma. We look forward to continuing our vital work in the years ahead.
