That Time The Mayor Visited Us At CoCo!

A Positive Day with Mayor Sullivan at CoCo

​

The visit from Mayor Trent Sullivan of Greater Geelong to CoCo Support Services 'Tranquility House', represented a significant day for our community. It highlighted our mutual dedication to improving support for people with disabilities.

​

Mayor Sullivan’s time with us was focused on exploring ways to further support those in need. His engagement in discussions about the potential for advocacy, networking, and community involvement suggested avenues for strengthening our services.

This visit underscored the cooperative relationship between CoCo Support Services and the local government, with an emphasis on how community participation and awareness can enhance the support network available to individuals with disabilities.
