Kylie Scoullar, who has recently stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer at Doncare, has made her first public appearance at an event. Kylie was accompanied by the Board Chair, Andrew Asten, to the prestigious Noel Jones Annual Awards Gala Dinner, held at the Grand Hyatt. The highlight of the evening was Doncare being declared the winner of the Noel Jones CSP Annual Grant.

Doncare was the successful recipient of a CSP grant in February and went into the draw along with other charities, junior sports stars, clubs, schools and kinders to win the coveted Annual Grant in the amount of $5000 to support ongoing Community initiatives.

Daniel D'Assisi, the Director of Doncaster, acknowledged Doncare's valuable work in providing essential support to those in need and expressed his desire that the grant would enable Doncare to continue their vital services in Melbourne's east. "We're proud to be just one small part of your mission of empowering individuals and families!" he said. Doncare provides Family Violence Recovery Services, low-cost Counselling, Emergency Relief, and Social Support.

This event marked Kylie's first official engagement as CEO of Doncare. It provided her with a platform to articulate the commendable work that Doncare does to support and empower vulnerable families and individuals facing challenging times. Kylie expressed her gratitude to Noel Jones, especially Daniel, for selecting Doncare as the recipient of the Community Support Grant.
