Family Life
James NEWBURY (Brighton) (13:04): Family Life has provided support to vulnerable children, families and communities since it was first established in 1970. The organisation has a big footprint. Last year 12,343 community members were supported by Family Life services and 399 people volunteered 45,533 hours of service. In 1972 they opened their first opportunity shop, which now has a network across Bayside, Kingston, Port Phillip and the Mornington Peninsula. Last week I opened their 13th store in Church Street, Brighton. Thank you to chief executive officer Allison Wainwright and director Alida Williams for both your leadership and the wonderful new store opening.
