I recently spoke to Tom Croker from the Stewart House Board who informed me of the financial difficulties being experienced by Stewart House. They have had to “lay off” their liaison officers and will now be calling on interested retired colleagues to fill that role.

Stewart House is the NSWPPA’s nominated charity and we always conduct raffles/ fund raisers to support them. We all know that our public schools and their staff are the chief fundraisers so early in the new year we will be calling for volunteers to support Stewart House and conducting a campaign to gain more support from staff via salary deduction. Stewart House will hopefully have some volunteers who will be prepared to visit PPCs and schools to gain that funding that is needed to support our students.
