It’s always a pleasure to welcome the delightful Prue Gregory to Tuart Place when she’s in Perth, and we were very pleased to see Prue again when she called by in March this year. Prue, Principal Solicitor with knowmore Legal Service, provided an update on knowmore’s work supporting survivors to understand their legal rights regarding redress. knowmore provides free legal
knowmore News assistance to people taking part in the National Redress Scheme. During her visit Prue also flagged the opening of knowmore’s Perth office, which we are pleased to say is now up and running. Details on page 5.

Winter Warmer 2019 We celebrated this year’s Winter Warmer on a suitably cold and blustery day in July. Guests enjoyed an absolutely delicious roast lunch, followed by one of our mega-raffles with beautiful items made by the Krafty Ladies and two of Ian Donaldson’s very popular handmade windmills. The third annual ‘Have a Go’ Talent Show was also a roaring success – who knew we had so many talented performers among us?! Thanks to Mary and Ann for their great work selling raffle tickets; Vera for her excellent raffle calling; Mike Carroll for expertly MCing the talent show; and everyone who helped out on the day.

All the best Fira Shafira (Fira) Jumantara was an intern with Tuart Place through UWA’s McCusker Centre for Citizenship in the second half of 2018 and also came back to volunteer with us again this year. Fira has now completed her Master of Strategic Communication at UWA and is heading home to Indonesia. Good luck Fira! We wish you all the best in whatever you do in life and really appreciate your help at Tuart Place. Photo (L-R): Fira with Tuart Place Receptionist Vicky Fox 8
