Celebrate 30 years with DVAC

Our 30 Years Celebration event provides an opportunity to reflect together on the achievements of the DVAC community over the last three decades – the support we provide to more than 8,000 people a year at time when they need it most, and goodwill of our community who make us the strong values driven organisation we are.

Join us for a night of music, raffles, auctions, food, drink and celebration, supported by local businesses and organisations. We can’t wait to share this moment with you.
