Perfect weather and a great group of local services came together for Homelessness Week in Lilydale.
The Community Lunch was held in partnership with the Yarra Ranges Housing Action Group and Holy Fools.
A number of clients attended, along with organisations from across the Yarra Ranges including Ngwala, the Mental Health Local (Inspiro), StableOne, and Yarra Ranges Council.
We were thrilled to have Tasty Az around to provide the coffee and catering (their scones were a hit!).
You can listen to a radio interview done during the event featuring Anchor CEO Heidi Tucker, Holy Fools CEO, Neal Taylor, and YRHAG CEO, Kate Coleman, where they discuss the need for more attention and urgency on homelessness.
