More than 80 people gathered at the Wallerawang Community and Sports Club on Sunday afternoon for a successful fundraiser hosted by the Portland Lithgow Wallerawang Social Justice Group.

Guest speaker Mama Rosemary shared her work supporting refugee and migrant women and families, alongside Naomi, a Director of the newly established Mama Rosemary Foundation.

The afternoon included a generous afternoon tea, time for community connection and a charity auction, which raised $4,000. An additional $1,500 was received in donations from those unable to attend. Twenty-one copies of Mama Rosemary’s book A Joyful Life were also sold on the day.

The Social Justice Group extends sincere thanks to all sponsors, donors, community members and especially the Wallerawang Community and Sports Club for their generosity and support.
