Activities
Some Manchester Unity branches meet fortnightly,
others monthly. Meetings can be for social, business or
"ritual" purposes.
Social activities (including bowls, cards, film nights, trips) run
by branches and Districts bring together people from all over Victoria -
members of one branch know that they are also warmly welcomed in other
branches, not only in Victoria but also interstate and in the United
Kingdom.
All of our branches work tirelessly for the greater
community, raising funds for local charities and community groups.
Charitable projects include:
|

Manufacturing
prone trolleys for donation to the children’s wards of
local
hospitals.

A particular benefit of Manchester Unity membership is the principle of mutual aid to fellow
members who may be ill or suffering from the various vicissitudes of
life.
Involvement in the meetings and conferences of
Manchester Unity gives members invaluable training in public speaking,
debating and conducting meetings - skills which carry through to the
workplace. Invariably,
members
attest to the self-confidence they have developed through Manchester
Unity.
