Unsung heroes of the Myrtleford Neighbourhood Centre with Jill Graham

Kintsugi Heroes - Alpine Series

In this episode of the Kintsugi Heroes Alpine Special, Ian spoke with Jill Graham who is Manager of the Myrtleford Neighbourhood Centre and also the Moyhu Neighbourhood Centre.

Kintsugi Heroes are partnering with the Myrtleford Neighbourhood Centre to record the real-life stories of people who were impacted by or involved in supporting the community through the Black Summer fires as part of the Bushfire Recovery project.

Jill’s passion for giving back to the local community comes through strongly in her story. She shares about the widespread confusion that arose in the community about what to do and where to go as the Black Summer bushfires increasingly took a hold in the Alpine region. Jill also shares the emotional heartache as members of her own family took on high risk roles to fight the fires and protect the local community.

Jill’s story left Ian feeling a strong appreciation for people like Jill and the key role they play in supporting our local communities.
