Katie Murphy, the new project coordinator of the latest C4C Activity Family & Community Engagement (FACE :)) was a welcome addition to the Barnardos / C4C display table at the CDEP Reunion Event today.
The gathering and services expo was held at The Land - Warrigal Employment site at Windang. We were invited to display information from all the Barnardos and C4C programs for families. To make sure we attracted attention Katie brought bananas and apples to give away and I brought C4C bags, drink bottles and the last of our Frisbees. Katie has also invested in an Apple Slinky machine which was a big hit with both the children and the Aunties! She is now looking forward to lots more community engagement as her project develops.
Talking to families at this event it was interesting to hear feedback about which services are well known and being able to introduce more people to ones that may interest them. When we spoke about the FACE target age group of 8-12s there was a lot of support and encouragement that this is definitely a needed.
