Comments on: AVP receives nominations in the 2010 {also} awards http://antiviolence.info/2010/06/avp-receives-nominations-in-the-2010-also-awards/ Anti Violence Project of Victoria (VicAVP) Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:04:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Glover http://antiviolence.info/2010/06/avp-receives-nominations-in-the-2010-also-awards/comment-page-1/#comment-942 Michael Glover Sun, 19 Dec 2010 00:42:52 +0000 http://antiviolence.info/2010/06/avp-receives-nominations-in-the-2010-also-awards/#comment-942 1] found it hard to locate an email address. 2] Heard Greg on JOY on seasonal violence. I lived in Collingwood for about 20 years. The feeling of threatening (non-gay) behaviour was always higher on the streets in inner Melbourne in late December until around Australia Day. Some attacks on gay folk may be random robbery, not exclusively homophobic. There are risky locations besides near gay venues. Best to go home with someone. 1] found it hard to locate an email address.

The standard of work we delivered to support the GLBT community in Victoria - all achieved without any government funding, paid staff or infrastructure - was outstanding! This quality of work showed in the range of nominations we received from the public for the 2010 {also} awards. While none of these nominations resulted in us winning an award, let alone being short-listed, each and every activity we undertook was a winner and we are proud that we made a huge difference in both the GLBT community and the broader community. All Victorian GLBT individuals are winners as a result of our work and it is for this that the AVP celebrates. Congratulations to my board, to our interns and volunteers who have participated in activities including IDAHO in 2009 and again in 2010, Community Safety Month 2009, assisting in Police recruit training and the multiple anti-violence collaborations at JOY 94.9 as well as in delivering the online violence reporting service and the activities that underpin this. Thank you to Danae Gibson from JOY 94.9, the Victoria Police Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit Manager Sgt Scott Davis, the {also} foundation's Zoe Dunbar and TGV's Sally Goldner for being the hub and joining with the AVP to again deliver IDAHO successfully into the state-wide GLBT Community in Victoria. We would like to acknowledge the significance of former {also} interim-CEO, Deb Holder providing access to a desk and phone for the AVP within the {also} Foundation's offices in March 2010. We celebrate this first ever in-kind support from the {also} Foundation and note that they were present at our inaugural meeting 13 years ago. We look forward to future collaborations between our two organisations and wish {also} well as it celebrates its 30th birthday. More great work to come.
