Hamish McLachlan & Tony McEvoy Share Powerful Moments from The Guardian of Change Exhibition

KIDS Foundation < 1 mins read

The KIDS Foundation has released a moving Video News Release (VNR) capturing highlights from the opening of The Guardian of Change exhibition, held Tuesday night at 161 Collins Street.

A standout moment was a stunning live performance by Awheata, a survivor from the Exford Bus Crash, who sang Shallow to a captivated audience. Despite having no formal training, Awheata’s voice moved the room, and thanks to the Foundation, she’s now receiving singing lessons and regularly attends Injury Recovery Camps.

The VNR also features reflections from:

  • Hamish McLachlan, KIDS Foundation Ambassador
  • Caitrin Kelly, Chair of the MRC Foundation
  • Tony McEvoy, leading trainer

Watch the VNR

The exhibition runs until Friday and continues trackside at the Caulfield Cup Carnival. All proceeds support the KIDS Foundation’s trauma recovery programs.

Victorian homelessness body warns of irreparable damage without urgent housing investment

Council to Homeless Persons has issued an impassioned plea to the Victorian Government to continue its legacy of bold reforms by funding evidence-backed programs and solutions to the state’s worsening homelessness emergency.
