@DefenceEc @agecsorg It is wonderful to have a good news story this week. It seems more important than ever. Thanks to @IanPotterFdn for the initial funding to create the eBooks. Thanks to Legacy for your work in making sure these books are relevant for our defence and veteran families.

We are THIS excited to announce the ECDefence program has received support from @agecsorg via the Forest Hill grant scheme. The money will be used to create interactive eBooks for children whose parents have a service-related injury.
