MarionLIFE to CommunityLIFE SA
If you’ve been keeping an eye on MarionLIFE’s website and socials recently, you may have caught that we have a name change coming! As of 1 July, we will be doing our work as CommunityLIFE SA.
A new logo that respects our heritage.
MarionLIFE was established in 1985, and has been serving the community since then. We’ve always had a focus on volunteering, on community voice driving what we do, and none of that is changing.
However, we now delivery services directly from as far south as Aldinga, right up to Edwardstown and South Plympton. We also provide services indirectly through our sub-contract with Elizabeth South Community Centre. And the truth is that having Marion in our name isn’t serving our community the way we would like. People have often confused us with other services and providers, or worse still, community members have thought they were unable to receive our support because they don’t live in Marion.
A history we’re so proud of.
That’s why, after a long process of decision making, we have made the call to change our brand and our name.
As you can see, we’re keeping our logo pretty close to what it was: the stained-glass look is reflective of the diversity of our community, and many different people who keep us going; the green colour in LIFE continues to represent renewal and hope, as it always has. We’ve added the SA, to celebrate the way we work in so many places. We’ll also be officially naming our Mitchell Park centre “MarionLIFE House” as a way of keeping that history front and centre.
But we’re also focused on what’s ahead. We’ll be continuing to delivery support to community across Adelaide (and perhaps beyond…) with a focus on local expertise, volunteers at the heart of our work, and remaining rooted in our community, wherever that community happens to be located.
If you’ve had a connection with MarionLIFE, we look forward to continuing to connect with you into the future. And if you’re just now hearing about us, then we hope that your new link with CommunityLIFE SA will be a special one. Why not sign up for our newsletter to keep up with what’s going on?
