On Friday 14th October, we celebrated the launch of the new Compeer Program in
Sydney. It was a fun, inspiring event which included a presentation from Chris, our
Northern Sydney Coordinator. We also heard from Robert, who spoke about his jour-
ney of recovery and read out a moving letter of hope. We were lucky enough to see
the newly created Compeer Program promotional video. It was a great afternoon and
a fantastic way to introduce the new team to other Vinnies staff members and workers
in the community
sector.
