The Hughes Community Garden was established by COTA ACT in 2020 with set up funding from the ACT Government. Since then, with support from the volunteers at the Hughes Community Shed and other community members the garden has grown to include veggie beds, a garden shed, watering system, and a composting/recycling program for the Hughes shops.

Transforming Perceptions – Saturday July 26 at 2.00pm - with Áine Ní Tigheanaigh.

· In Conversation with Jennifer Tierney, Executive Officer, Médecins San Frontières (MSF) Australia – The Genocide in Gaza;

· In Conversation with Greg Aldridge, OAM, CEO Everyman and Josh Hewitt, Manager of Justice Transitions and Violence Prevention Services – Providing Support to Men with High and Complex Needs in the ACT and Surrounding Region.

Áine shares two interviews, the first with Jennifer Tierney, EO, Médcins San Frontières discussing the dire situation in the Gaza Strip for Palestinians and the urgent need for action from global powers. The deliberate starvation of babies, women, children, elderly and people with disabilities and shootings of those seeking food and water have become a daily occurrence. After 22 months, MSF staff and workers from other Aid organisations on the ground are also succumbing to malnutrition, leaving them with a sense of hopelessness and belief that the world has forgotten about them.

The second interview is with CEO Greg Aldridge OAM and Josh Hewitt of Everyman. Áine chats with Greg and Josh about the valuable work they do to provide support to men in the ACT and surrounding region with high and complex needs in a sector that is constantly underserviced and under-supported.

Transforming Perceptions, bringing you news, views, updates and information from the lived and living perspective, community, multicultural and mainstream mental health sectors; and music from round the world.
