Community Voices Program
Four Flinders University students have recently completed a creative project to help motivate people to support others with arthritis.

Community Voices is a program run by Flinders University in association with the Office for Volunteers and community charitable organisations. Third year students, Glynn Morgan, Sarah Bond, Lejle Sarcevic and Simon Williams worked on the project with Arthritis Volunteers featuring in the 30" television commercial.

The commercial is expected to go to air early next year as part of a community service commitment by Channel 9 through Telethon.
