President Neville Taylor and Chair of the Youth Services Committee, Elias Lebbos, met with Lex de Man, Chief Executive Officer - Victoria Police Legacy.

Victoria Police Legacy supports:

  • Members of the police family who have lost a partner who is a serving or retired sworn member of Victoria Police, Protective Services Officer or recruit in training.  
  • Serving or retired sworn members and Protective Services Officer who have lost partners.  
  • Resigned Members, who fall into one of the above categories, if they have served more than 25 years with Victoria Police.  
  • Legatees who have moved into a new relationship; and 
  • Parents of serving members of Victoria Police and Protective Services Officers where that member was not in a relationship at the time of their death.
  • Members, their partners and families and legatees experiencing grief and hardship caused by imminent or actual death or permanent (prolonged) disability.

Our meeting this morning had two purposes. The first was to present Lex with a cheque for the sum of $678 which were the proceeds of the raffle sold at the Victoria Police Leaders Mentoring Program Breakfast. These funds will be used to contribute the great work Victoria Police Legacy undertake to support young legatees.

The second reason was to explore how Rotary is able to collaborate with Victoria Police Legacy to support their vital and unique work. Victoria Police Legacy will be undertaking a review of their Youth Development Framework over the next few months and RCM will be invited to participate in this review.

We look forward to developing a mutually beneficial working relationship that support the development of vulnerable young people in our community.
