We put out the call for boots for Seafarers and they walked in the door! So grateful to our community and Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group.

Moments of pure joy! We were able to facilitate a meeting between this Seafarer from the Double Pride and his daughter and family. They had not seen each other for 9 years and he met his granddaughter for the first time 🥰
