Hanging sun catchers workshop
War widows, defence and veteran families are invited to come together for a hanging sun catchers session. Facilitated by social workers, Gabby Steel and Hayley Lam, veteran families will be guided step-by-step to create their own kookaburra and wattle hanging sun catchers in a relaxed online session. It will be a great opportunity to connect, share, and enjoy meaningful time with others in the veteran community.
