The Peter Pan Committee raised over $160,000 for Beyond Barbed Wire

The Peter Pan Committee raised over $160,000 for The Beyond Barbed Wire Program!

The Literary Lunch was a great success with guests given the opportunity to listen to the talented playwright, screenwriter and novelist, Suzie Miller is a fierce advocate of rehabilitative incarceration and breaking the cycle of disadvantage.

The lunch was hosted once again by investigative journalist, Kate McClymont AM, who interviewed Eliza Gibbs, Barnardos Western NSW Program Manager, and Dr Rosemaria Flaherty, Barnardos Executive Leader of Child and Family and Support. Both guest speakers provided pertinent insights into the chronic shortage of social housing and its devastating consequences, along with the program’s successful outcomes, including a third of the reincarnation rate compared to the national statistic.

A big thank you to the Peter Pan Committee and their supporters for their ongoing support of the Beyond Barbed Wire program. Thank you for being Champions for Children.
