We were delighted to recently feature on Building Stronger Communities, a program hosted by Michelle Hillier on SWR 99.9FM – Sydney's West Community Radio Station.

The interview provided an opportunity to discuss our work, the impact we're making in the community, and the importance of continuing to build strong, connected and inclusive communities.

We're grateful to Michelle Hillier and the team at SWR 99.9FM for the opportunity to share our participant, Jessica's story and highlight the work being done across our organisation.

Jessica spoke openly about overcoming challenges as a young parent, finding confidence through the support of her mentor and ultimately launching her own business, AJT Artistry, in Minchinbury.

Jessica Kneath, Area Manager, and Sharlene Longman, Jessica’s Parent Pathways mentor, explained how the program helps parents overcome barriers, build confidence and take meaningful steps towards employment and education.
