Ep 218 - Sales says: Wham! Adelaide says: Ouch!

This 80's band never toured to Adelaide. But Sales has compensated by talking about not one, not two, but THREE Wham! shows. As Crabb lapses in and out of consciousness, she manages to reminisce about Sinead O'Connor, and farewell her beautiful sister in law Anisa, friend of the show, who benefited in her last days from the palliative care team who are the joint charity partners of this live event. Local writers Robert Skinner and Walter Marsh feature, as well as Sales' new book which is a CRACKER. So much Chatter love in the room. You people really are the best.

The Vinnies Women’s Crisis Centre was established in 2017 to provide accommodation for women, children experiencing homelessness, and also accommodates pets. Many guests come to the centre due to domestic and family violence, and it provides a safe haven for decision-making and the opportunity to connect with other agencies.

Accommodating pets at the centre is a crucial part of a woman’s decision to leave an unsafe home, as often the fear of leaving a pet that could also be in harm’s way will prevent them from taking that step.

In almost 6 years of operation the Vinnies Women’s Crisis Centre has accommodated more than 5,500 women, children and pets.

More recently, with the rental crisis and shortage of affordable accommodation, guests are staying much longer as there is simply nowhere else for them to go.

As part of Vinnies’ work more broadly, they have been working with the sector to advocate for fairer rent laws and greater investment in social and affordable housing.

With the funds generously donated by Chatters at the last live event in Adelaide, children staying at the centre have been able to participate in the Ready Steady Go sports program during school holidays. For safety reasons, some children are unable to leave the centre, so the Ready Steady Go activities provide a much-needed release.

The Vinnies team is grateful for the support of Chat 10 Looks 3.
