STRATFORD resident and nurse Lauren Slayford has worked in a variety of healthcare roles, and has seen first hand the power that education, support and compassion can have on improving the lives of disadvantaged children in the community.
Teaming up with well-known domestic violence advocate Rosie Batty, Lauren and eight others will embark on a six-day trek across the rugged and stunning terrain of the Overland Track in Tasmania this month, raising money to support children recovering from the trauma of abuse and violence.
Under the banner of the Australian Childhood Foundation, the participants are self-funding their passage and stay in Tasmania, and donating all money raised to the foundation.

THIS week is NAIDOC Week — an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to come together, connect to culture and Country, and share with non-Indigenous Australians to help them to grow their cultural awareness, knowledge and skills respectfully.
Until Sunday, NAIDOC celebrations will be held around the country, with this year’s theme — ‘Heal Country!’ — providing the basis for NAIDOC discussion.
Aunty Liz Thorpe gave a Welcome to Country at a NAIDOC ceremony at the Port of Sale on Monday morning, which was followed by the raising of the Australian, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander flags on Foster St, and a smoking ceremony.
