Mornings with Leon Compton
In a significant moment for our organisation, our CEO, Jane, had the incredible opportunity to speak on 'Mornings with Leon Compton' on ABC Radio today with Ms Heather Kent, St Vincent de Paul Society (Tas) CEO and Stephen Brown City Mission CEO. During this engaging session, Jane shared our team's transformative work in the community to combat youth homelessness. Jane discussed the vital role our sector plays in shaping a better future.
With the upcoming election drawing near, Jane emphasised the importance of community support and government backing in ensuring the sustainability and effectiveness of services like ours. Jane also outlined the potential impacts of the election on our sector, stressing the need for policies that address the root causes of homelessness and provide a pathway towards stable and secure housing for our young people.
In addition to this radio appearance, our team members Courtney and Patsy attended the Tasmanian Community Fund project updates in Longford, where they joined other funding recipients, including Working It Out Inc., Thread Together, Northern Suburbs Community Centre Inc., and The Shepherd Centre. The day offered a fantastic opportunity to share information about our KYTT program and hear about other exemplary initiatives around Tasmania. It was a day filled with inspiring exchanges and collaborative potential, further highlighting the importance of community efforts in addressing pressing social issues.
The conversation on ABC Radio and the productive discussions at the Tasmanian Community Fund event showcases the momentum our work is gaining and the collective effort in making a difference across Tasmania.
